Question

What is 9/7+5/8 as a fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

$1\frac{51}{56}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer to this question you will have to find the common denominator, (CD) multiply the denominators by the amount it takes to receive the common deliminator then do the same with the numerators without finding the common numerator, and then add the two numerators together and reduce if needed.

$\frac{9}{7} +\frac{5}{8}$

Find the common denominator:

$CD=56$

$9\times 8 =72$

$7 \times 8 = 56$

$= \frac{72}{56}$

Do the same with the second fraction:

$5\times7=35$

$8\times7=56$

$=\frac{35}{56}$

Then you would have:

$\frac{72}{56} +\frac{35}{56}$  

Add the numerators:

$72+35=107$

$=\frac{107}{56}$

Turn the improper fraction into a mixed number:

$\frac{107}{56} = 1\frac{51}{56}$

You get this by dividing 107 by 56 which should give you 1 with the remainder of 51 and you keep the denominator the same.

$=1\frac{51}{56}$

Hope this helps.
