Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form.41+310s
Identify LCD: Identify the least common denominator (LCD) for the fractions41 and 310s. The denominators are 4 and 3, so the LCD is 4×3=12.
Rewrite with LCD: Rewrite each fraction with the common denominator of 12. For 41, multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 to get (4×31×3)=123. For 310s, multiply the numerator and denominator by 4 to get (3×410s×4)=1240s.
Add fractions: Add the fractions with the common denominator.(123)+(1240s)=123+40s
Check for simplification: Check if the resulting fraction can be simplified further.The numerator 3+40s and the denominator 12 do not have any common factors other than 1, so the fraction is already in simplest form.
