what is it?

2. MauriceLong Group Title

HERE IS PROBLEM BELOW.. A Parent died and left an estate to four children. One inherited 1/9 of the estate, the Second inherited 5/81, and the third inherited 17/27. How much did the Fourth Inherited? Type a simplified fractions

3. gdogthegirl Group Title

ok first you need to turn all the fractions to the same denominator do you know how to do that?

4. MauriceLong Group Title

no i dont know how too do that.. can you help me with that

5. MauriceLong Group Title

1/9+5/81+17/27 =

6. MauriceLong Group Title

Can you help me with the Answer. Also can you Explain how you got the answer and walk me through step by step.

7. gdogthegirl Group Title

yes that would be the equation but in order to add the you need all denominaters the same because it makes it much easier soooo..... all of them can be changed to 81 1/9 times by 9 is 9/81 and then 5/81 doesn't need to be changed and then 17/27 times by three is 51/81 so it would be $\frac{ 9 }{ 81 } + \frac{ 5 }{ 81 } + \frac{ 51 }{ 81 } =$

8. gdogthegirl Group Title

can you understand that ^^^^^

9. gdogthegirl Group Title

since i already typed that up

10. MauriceLong Group Title

so do I add all of this together and then simplify

11. gdogthegirl Group Title

yes, that would be the next step

12. MauriceLong Group Title

13. gdogthegirl Group Title

yes and then you would subtract that from 81/81

14. gdogthegirl Group Title

because 81/81 is the whole and then your subtracts everyone else s inheritance from that to find out the fourth persons.

15. MauriceLong Group Title

-16/81

16. gdogthegirl Group Title

how did you get a negative

17. gdogthegirl Group Title

it is 81/81-65/81

18. MauriceLong Group Title

its positive sorry 16/81

19. MauriceLong Group Title

so will i take 16/81- 17/27

20. MauriceLong Group Title

or 17/81

21. gdogthegirl Group Title

why do you think you would do that?

22. MauriceLong Group Title
