Question
Michael ate
of cheese pizzas and
of pepperoni pizzas. He did eat ________ pizza in all.
Hint:
The total amount eaten can be found out by adding the fraction and for that we have to make denominator same this can be done by taking LCM. LCM is the least common multiple of two integers. We will use the prime factorization method to find the LCM. In prime factorization method the simply put the factor of each number and then for LCM we take product of factors by considering the repeated factors only one time with highest exponent.
The correct answer is: 
Step1: First we will write all the fractions and then we will write the denominator and then we will use prime factorization method to add the fraction.
Fractions are :
and 
In this question the denominators are
and
.
Factors of
are:
Factors of
are:
Step2: For calculating the LCM we will multiply the factors by considering the common factors only one time with the highest exponent.
In this case the factor
is common in both
and
so we will multiply it only once with the highest exponent
LCM (
,
) = 
LCM (
,
) = 
Step3: Now what we do is divide the LCM by each denominator and multiply the numerator by quotient and then add them
So, 
and 
So, we will multiply the numerator of
by
and numerator of
by
.
So, the total amount of pizza that she ate is
.
