Draw fraction strips to add 1/4 and 1/6 Write an equation.

fraction strips would just be;

1 box split into 12 parts because 12 is the common denominator, and 1/4 is equal to 3/12, so you would shade in 3 of the parts, and then 1/6 = 2/12, so you would shade in 2 parts. In the end, you should have a box (or rectangle) with 12 parts, and only 5 of those parts should be shaded in.

The equation would be as follows:

1/4+1/6 = 3/12+2/12 = 5/12

Hope this helped!! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (1/x) = 5

x(x + (1/x)) = x(5)

x*x + x*1/x = 5x

x² + 1 = 5x

x² - 5x + 1 = 0

x = {-(-5)±√((-5²) -(4*1*1))} / (2*1)

x = {5±√(25-4)} / 2

x = {5±√21} / 2

x = {5±4.5826} / 2

x₁ = {5-4.5826} / 2 = 0.4174/2 = 0.2087

x₂ = {5+4.5826) / 2 = 9.5826/2 = 4.7913

Comprobación:

x₁

0.2087 + 1/0.2087 = 5

0.2087 +  4.7913 = 5

x₂

4.7913 + 1/4.7913 = 5

4.7913 + 0.2087 = 5

Respuesta:

x₁

(0.2087)³ + 1/(0.2087)³ = 0.0091 + 1/0.0091 = 0.0091 + 110.0101 = 110.019

x₂

(4.7913)³ + 1(4.7913)³ = 110 + 1/110 = 110 + 0.01 = 110.01
