Question 1 (c) Add the following fractions using Brahmagupta’s method: (c) 2/3+5/6Basically, we need to make denominator same To do this, we multiply both denominators 3 × 6 = 18 But, this is too big We can just do 3 × 2 = 6 and only change 1st fraction Let’s do that 𝟐/𝟑=𝟐/𝟑 ×𝟐/𝟐 =𝟒/𝟔 Now, our sum becomes 2/3+5/6 = 4/6+5/6 = 𝟗/𝟔 Simplifying = 9/6 = 𝟑/𝟐
