Question

2 16/25+ 3 18/20 = simplest form

Answer 1

the answer is 654/100 or 6.54

Answer 2

First change both fractions so that they have a common denominator. The least common factor of 25 and 20 is 100. That means 100 is going to be the denominator.

$2 \frac{16 \times 4}{25 \times 4} = 2 \frac{64}{100}$

$3 \frac{18 \times 5}{20 \times 5} = 3 \frac{90}{100}$

Now add the 2 mixed numbers:

$2 \frac{64}{100} + 3 \frac{90}{100} = 5 \frac{154}{100} \rightarrow 6 \frac{54}{100} \rightarrow 6 \frac{27}{50}$

Your answer is $6 \frac{27}{50}$
