Question

chip is a robot that follows commands to move on a number line. this time, the commands include fractions with denominators that are not multiples of each other. for each set of commands, help chip find its new location. command 3: start at \\(\frac{1}{4}\\). move \\(\frac{1}{3}\\) to the right. first, choose a common denominator for \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) and \\(\frac{1}{3}\\). 16 12 4 3

Explanation:

Step1: Find common denominator

The denominators are 4 and 3. LCM(4,3)=12.

Step2: Convert fractions

$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{12}$, $\frac{1}{3}=\frac{4}{12}$

Step3: Add fractions

$\frac{3}{12}+\frac{4}{12}=\frac{7}{12}$

Answer:

12; $\frac{7}{12}$
