easier would be to take the ratio of the numbers in the denominator : 8 : 10 = 4 : 5 and use the new numbers to calculate the numerator in other words : 3 / 4 + 5 / 5 and perform your calculations to find numerator : 3 * 5 + 4 * 5 = 35 then for denominator you need to do some cross multiplication 8 * 5 or 4 * 10 both give 40 so the answer is 35 / 40 using divisibility rules, anything that ends in 5 or 0 is divisible by 5, so 35 / 40 = 7 / 8.

I paused the video BEFORE your starting of the solution presentation. I observed that 5/10 is exactly one-half! I rewrote it as its equivalent as 4/8! House, the final answer is 7/8!

Thank you. Why, when you multiply numbers, you move from bottom right to upper left and when multiplying letters, it becomes XH instead of HX?

When you multiply two numbers, you can place them in either order. For example, 3*5 = 5 * 3 = 15. Multiplication of numbers is said to commute. This is true for any number of factors. Both multiplication and addition are commutative. (If you want to get slightly more technical, these operations are commutative over the numbers we deal with everyday.)

@@NuncNuncNuncNunc That's not what the question of Debbie is about. At 5. 32 the instructor says 10 times 3, so right denominator times. left nominator. Why at 10.41 he does it the other way around, so x times h in stead of h times x. That's the question, and of course for the result is doesn't matter to use xh or hx. But the question is why is he not consequent in using the order in which he uses the values in the two situations?

I love math!

convert to decimal .375 + .5 = 0.875 or 7/8 or 14/16ths or 28/32's etc etc

I got 7/8s. 5/10 is equal to 1/2, which is also equal to 4/8. 3/8 plus 4/8 is 7/8s. I looked at a standard ruler.

I learnt the solution differently. If no LCD is readily available, multiply the 2 to get one hence using 80. Multiply the numerator by the respective number needed to get the denominator ie 3x10 and 5x 8. Simple

I love this method. I can't believe no one taught me this in school.

I would suggest reducing to lowest terms

5/10 c'est 1/2. Étant habitué de mesurer en pouces pour des petits travaux de menuiserie, 1/2 + 3/8 = 7/8 sans compter...

Okay, but in this problem there is a much simpler solution. 5/10th's is the same as 4/8th's, so 3/8th's plus 4/8th's is 7'/8th's. Done in one quick step.

And his "method" is really just multiplying the denominators and then multiplying the numerators by the same number the associated denominator was multiplied by. There are lots of ways to approach something like this once you understand the principles. I think the "bowtie" aspect would have confused the dickens out of me a kid. But, I've also never tried to teach this stuff.

Learn the LCD method - you will still need to learn it well for when the numbers become letters, expressions in parenthesis etc and when you need to add three or more fractions, rather than two.

No this method works just as well for algebra as well, in fact it's much easier as there is no worrying about finding the LCD. If there are more than two fractions add two then keep repeating.

Reduce the second fraction to 1/2 now the answer 7/8

It’s so funny. Just a few days ago I commented how I never understood why American schools have students look for the LCD assuming real life will always give you easy low numbers as denominators. Other countries cross multiply; I learned this method in fifth grade. When I returned to the US I explained this to my teacher who just told me that we will have to do it his way because my method was wrong; he didn’t know how we arrived at the same answer but just said it’s wrong. Thanks for going over this.

@@fallback8314 It works. I’m sure it’s been a while since we all did math You multiply the two denominators and that becomes the new denominator. Then add the products of your cross multiplication.

I do agree with you, I've posted so many times as to why this chap is obsessed with the LCD and you have appeared to answer that. In the UK we always use this method first then at least most if not all the class will be able to get the answer and feel some success even with lower ability students. Teaching the LCD way will mean that half the class (at best) will just not get anywhere and start to 'hate' maths.

But, you did find the LCD! You were able to do the numerator first if you wanted, but, you still found the LCD. To by-pass finding the LCD, you would realize that 5/10 is an expression of 1/2. Well, 4/8 is also an expression of 1/2 and 3/8 plus 4/8 equals 7/8. I hope I was clear.
