When you add fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators and keep the denominator. Here, 1/4 + 1/4 equals 2/4, which simplifies to 1/2.

By dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2, 2/4 simplifies to 1/2. This demonstrates a basic concept of equivalent fractions.

Since the fractions have the same denominator, subtract the numerators: 3 - 1 = 2. This results in 2/4, which simplifies to 1/2.

Multiplying 1/2 by 6 gives 6/2, which simplifies to 3. This question checks the understanding of multiplying fractions by whole numbers.

Doubling the recipe means multiplying the amount of oil by 2. Therefore, 1/3 cup multiplied by 2 equals 2/3 cup.

Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. This simplifies 8/12 to 2/3.

Find a common denominator for 2/5 and 1/3, which is 15. Converting gives 6/15 and 5/15 respectively; adding them results in 11/15.

With a common denominator, subtract the numerators: 5 - 3 = 2, which yields 2/8. Simplifying 2/8 results in 1/4.

Multiplying the fractions involves multiplying the numerators (2 x 3 = 6) and the denominators (3 x 4 = 12), which gives 6/12 and simplifies to 1/2.

To find half of 3/4, multiply 3/4 by 1/2, which results in 3/8. This demonstrates halving a fraction.

Dividing a fraction by a whole number is equivalent to multiplying the denominator by that number. Thus, (5/6) ÷ 2 becomes 5/12.

Multiply 7/10 by 50 to obtain (7 x 50)/10 = 350/10, which simplifies to 35. This operation reinforces fraction multiplication with whole numbers.

Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 2 and add the numerator 1, yielding (2x2 + 1)/2 = 5/2. This conversion is key for working with mixed numbers.

Convert 2/3 to 8/12 and 1/4 to 3/12; their sum is 11/12. Subtracting from 1 (or 12/12) yields 1/12 of the supplies remaining unused.

A fraction multiplied by its reciprocal always equals 1 because the numerator and denominator cancel each other out. Here, 4/5 multiplied by 5/4 equals 1.

The ratio 2:1 indicates the rope is divided into 3 equal parts. The shorter piece is 1/3 of the total length: (1/3) x (3/4) = 1/4 yard.

Add the milk Mark drank (3/8) to what remained (1 1/2, which is 12/8) to get (3/8 + 12/8) = 15/8 gallons. This sum represents the initial amount of milk.

Let the number be X. Since 5/6 of X equals 25, multiply both sides by the reciprocal (6/5) to find X = 25 x (6/5) = 30.

First, convert 5 1/2 to an improper fraction: 5 1/2 = 11/2. Then multiply by 2/3 to get (11/2) x (2/3) = 11/3. This is the area in square meters.

First, add the portions: 3/4 + 2/3. Converting to a common denominator gives 9/12 + 8/12 = 17/12. Dividing this sum by 5 yields (17/12) ÷ 5 = 17/60 for each person.
