Solving Fraction Equations Worksheet

                    Lesson 1

Problem:                   Solve: y/10 + 5y/5 = 6/2

Step 1: What is the common denominator? 10

Solution Multiply every term by 10, and get: 1 (y) + 2 (5y) = 5 (6)

Step 2:                        

Solution Just like addition/subtraction, "lose" the denominators.

Step 3:           

1 (y) + 2 (5y) = 5 (6); = y+10y=30; y = 30/11

                                                             Solution                    The answer is:  2.72

 Complete   

                                                            Try two practice problems:  

Solve:

A. z/10 + 2z/5 = 8/2

B. 15 – 2q/3 = q/6
