The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of \( \frac{28}{40} + \frac{6}{28} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify each fraction 1. **Simplifying \( \frac{28}{40} \)**: - The numerator \( 28 \) can be factored as \( 4 \times 7 \). - The denominator \( 40 \) can be factored as \( 4 \times 10 \). - We can cancel the common factor \( 4 \): \[ \frac{28}{40} = \frac{4 \times 7}{4 \times 10} = \frac{7}{10} \] 2. **Simplifying \( \frac{6}{28} \)**: - The numerator \( 6 \) can be factored as \( 2 \times 3 \). - The denominator \( 28 \) can be factored as \( 2 \times 14 \). - We can cancel the common factor \( 2 \): \[ \frac{6}{28} = \frac{2 \times 3}{2 \times 14} = \frac{3}{14} \] ### Step 2: Add the simplified fractions Now we need to add \( \frac{7}{10} + \frac{3}{14} \). 3. **Finding the LCM of the denominators (10 and 14)**: - The prime factorization of \( 10 \) is \( 2 \times 5 \). - The prime factorization of \( 14 \) is \( 2 \times 7 \). - The LCM is found by taking the highest power of each prime: \[ \text{LCM} = 2^1 \times 5^1 \times 7^1 = 70 \] 4. **Rewriting each fraction with the common denominator**: - For \( \frac{7}{10} \): \[ \frac{7}{10} = \frac{7 \times 7}{10 \times 7} = \frac{49}{70} \] - For \( \frac{3}{14} \): \[ \frac{3}{14} = \frac{3 \times 5}{14 \times 5} = \frac{15}{70} \] 5. **Adding the fractions**: \[ \frac{49}{70} + \frac{15}{70} = \frac{49 + 15}{70} = \frac{64}{70} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the result 6. **Simplifying \( \frac{64}{70} \)**: - The numerator \( 64 \) can be factored as \( 2^6 \). - The denominator \( 70 \) can be factored as \( 2 \times 35 \). - We can cancel the common factor \( 2 \): \[ \frac{64}{70} = \frac{2^6}{2 \times 35} = \frac{32}{35} \] ### Final Answer The sum \( \frac{28}{40} + \frac{6}{28} \) simplifies to \( \frac{32}{35} \). ---
