Exercise 55

Add or subtract. Write answers in lowest terms. (See Examples.)
$Add or subtract. Write answers in lowest terms. (See Examples.) Adding and Subtracting Unlike Fractions Add or subtract. (a) (b) SOLUTION (a) Inspection shows that the least common denominator is 8. Rewrite the fractions so each has a denominator of 8, then add. (b) The least common denominator is 40. Rewrite the fractions so each has a denominator of 40, then subtract. Adding and Subtracting Unlike Fractions Add or subtract. (a) (b) (c) SOLUTION First rewrite the fractions with a least common denominator. (a) (b) (c) All calculator solutions are shown using a basic calculator. The calculator solution to part (b) uses the fraction key on the calculator. Note : Refer to Appendix B for calculator basics.$
