Question - Combining Fractions to Find Total Pretzels
Solution:
To solve the question in the image, you need to combine the fractions that represent the amount of pretzels in Bag A and Bag B.Bag A is 1/3 full of pretzels.Bag B is 1/4 full of pretzels.To find the total amount of pretzels when combining both bags, you simply add the two fractions together:1/3 + 1/4To add these fractions, you need a common denominator. The smallest common denominator for 3 and 4 is 12. Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the denominator of 12:(1/3) * (4/4) = 4/12(1/4) * (3/3) = 3/12Now with like denominators, you can add the numerators:4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12The combined amount of pretzels from both bags is 7/12 of a bag. Since 7/12 is more than 1/2 (which would be 6/12), the answer to the question is that you will have more than half a bag of pretzels when you combine the two bags.
