Worksheet Worksheet 5
1. Calculate \(\frac{7}{8} + \frac{5}{24}\text{.}\)
2. Calculate \(\frac{22}{15} - \frac{3}{35}\text{.}\)
3. Calculate \(\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d}\text{.}\)
4. In the previous problem, you derived a general formula for adding two fractions together. Apply the formula to calculating \(\frac{11}{32} + \frac{23}{48}\) and then explain why it’s not a good idea to use the formula in every situation.
