Question

5 4/8 + 1 3/8 = 1. 33/8 2. 55/8 3. 6 7/16

Answer 1

Answer: 2. 55/8

Step-by-step explanation: Add the whole numbers first (5+1 = 6), then add the fractions (4/8 + 3/8 = 7/8). Now we have 6 7/8 and since they want the answer in fraction form we will multiply the 6 and the 8 (6x8=48) and then add the 7 to the 48 (7+48 =55) and we leave our answer over the denominator which is 8. This leaves us with the final answer of 55/8
