The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the sum \( \frac{6}{13} + \frac{3}{4} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators The denominators are 13 and 4. Since 13 is a prime number, we can find the LCM by multiplying the two numbers together. - The prime factorization of 4 is \( 2^2 \). - The prime factorization of 13 is \( 13^1 \). The LCM is calculated as: \[ \text{LCM} = 2^2 \times 13 = 4 \times 13 = 52 \] ### Step 2: Convert each fraction to have the common denominator Now that we have the LCM, we will convert each fraction to have a denominator of 52. For \( \frac{6}{13} \): - We need to multiply the numerator and denominator by 4 (since \( 52 \div 13 = 4 \)): \[ \frac{6}{13} = \frac{6 \times 4}{13 \times 4} = \frac{24}{52} \] For \( \frac{3}{4} \): - We need to multiply the numerator and denominator by 13 (since \( 52 \div 4 = 13 \)): \[ \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 13}{4 \times 13} = \frac{39}{52} \] ### Step 3: Add the two fractions Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them: \[ \frac{24}{52} + \frac{39}{52} = \frac{24 + 39}{52} = \frac{63}{52} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the result (if necessary) The fraction \( \frac{63}{52} \) is already in its simplest form, as 63 and 52 have no common factors other than 1. ### Final Answer Thus, the sum \( \frac{6}{13} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{63}{52} \). ---
