Question

Give each answer as mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$= 1 \frac{1}{8} + 1 \frac{1}{6}$

$= \frac{1 \times 8 + 1}{8} + \frac{1 \times 6 + 1}{6}$

$= \frac{9}{8} + \frac{7}{6}$

$= \frac{9}{8} \times \frac{3}{3} + \frac{7}{6} \times \frac{4}{4}$

$= \frac{27}{24} + \frac{28}{24}$

$= \frac{27 + 28}{24}$

$= \frac{55}{24}$

$= 2 \frac{7}{24}$
