IT WAS THE WRONG PROBLEM

4. Hero Group Title

Multiply the first fraction by 5/5 Multiply the second fraction by 4/4 Finally add both together

5. Ahsher97 Group Title

turn them into decimals then back into a fraction, thats probably the easiest way for me

6. mathhard Group Title

TO HARD

7. AIK Group Title

5/20 +8/20?

8. AIK Group Title

you get the denominator on the same number for any addition or subtraction of different fractions

9. Hero Group Title

10. mathhard Group Title

THX AIK :3 XD

11. mathhard Group Title

NO

12. AIK Group Title

Do you want me to explain it to you how to get the do it or do you understand from what I gave you?

13. mathhard Group Title

I only do that since im in 4th grade

14. mathhard Group Title

AIK its fine the answer is easy now

15. mathhard Group Title

Wait no its not

16. AIK Group Title

you add both to get 13/20

17. mathhard Group Title

but the question is 2/5+1/4

18. Hero Group Title

@mathhard, you ever heard of equivalent fractions? If someone says to you that $\frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{10}$ What goes through your mind?

19. mathhard Group Title

I only do that since im in 4th grade

20. Hero Group Title

Saying you're in 4th grade is not an excuse for not knowing.

21. mathhard Group Title

i cant do that jerk

22. abb0t Group Title

Don't you need to be 13 to use OS?

23. ArTFis Group Title

Common denominatorfor them would be 20. Mulitply 1/4 by 5 and 2/5 by 4. Then add and simplify.

24. mathhard Group Title

oh yeah one more thing its not an excuse

25. tyteen4a03 Group Title

@abb0t OS might have a COPPA form somewhere, but otherwise yes, you need to be 13+ to use this site.

26. abb0t Group Title

LOL!

27. mathhard Group Title

Don't you need to be 13 to use OS? no @abb0t

28. tyteen4a03 Group Title

@mathhard According to the OpenStudy Terms of Services, you must be 13+ and currently enrolled in a High School/University, OR you must be 18+. The full statement is outlined in the ToS here, under the Eligibility section: http://openstudy.com/terms-and-conditions You are currently violating the OpenStudy Terms of Use, and since that your attitude has not been great towards users, they have the option to report your account for ToS violation. Just saying ;)

29. mathhard Group Title

Im 18 i was kidding cant you take a joke

30. geerky42 Group Title

Frankly, this is stupid, you can't tell how old users are behind computer. How can you tell if they are younger than 13?

31. karatechopper Group Title

BE NICE. And don't lie.

32. mathhard Group Title

33. karatechopper Group Title

37. Hero Group Title

So all this time, it was an 18 year old saying "too hard"?

38. mathhard Group Title

karatechopper im not a very smart person and you said to be nice|dw:1359073264680:dw|

39. mathhard Group Title

40. karatechopper Group Title

I think an 18 year old, would be a bit more mature.

41. geerky42 Group Title

@karatechopper "Wow, an 18 year old not being able to do a fraction problem...." It reminds me of this movie called "Stand and Deliver." Pretty good movie, I suggest you to watch it.

42. mathhard Group Title

43. karatechopper Group Title

But still, what do you understand in this whole fraction problem. Have you even attempted it?
