Example 1 Find 3/7+((โ6)/11)+((โ8)/21)+(5/22) 3/7+((โ6)/11)+((โ8)/21)+(5/22) = ๐/๐ +((โ๐)/๐๐)+((โ6)/11)+5/22 =[(3 ร 3 + (โ8))/21]+[((โ๐) ร ๐ + ๐)/๐๐] = [(9 + (โ8))/21]+[(โ12 + 5)/22] = ๐/๐๐+((โ๐)/๐๐) = (1 ร 22 + (โ7) ร 21)/(21 ร 22) = (22 โ 147)/462 = (โ๐๐๐)/( ๐๐๐) Rough For addition, we group denominators Since 7 ร 3 = 21 We group 3/7 and ((โ8)/21) together And 11 ร 2 = 22 We group ((โ6)/11) and 5/22 together
