What is 1 5/8 +4 7/8 show work

1 answer:

6 0

Take the mixed number apart and have a whole number and a fraction
1+4 and 5/8 + 7/8
1+4=5
5/8 + 7/8 = 12/8
12/8 = 1 4/8
Add 5 to 1 4/8
5 + 1 4/8 = 6 4/8
1 5/8 + 4 7/8 = 6 4/8
In simplest term, the answer is also 6 1/2
-------------------------------------------------
Another way to solve it is by turning both 1 5/8 and 4 7/8 into improper fractions.
1 5/8 = 13/8
4 7/8 = 39/8
Add them.
13/8 + 39/8 = 52/8
Turn 52/8 into a mixed number.
52/8 = 6 4/8
Simplify it to get 6 1/2.

guapka [62]

Answer:

The maximum number of packages that can be made with each package have same number of each item is = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mr. Harris has 48 pencils and 30 notebooks.

To find the number of packages he can make with each package have same number of each item.

Solution:

Number of pencils = 48

Number of notebooks = 30

In order to find the number of packages he can make with each package have same number of each item, we will find the greatest common factor of the given numbers.

To find the G.C.F., we will list down the prime factors of each.

$48=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3$

$30=2\times 3\times 5$

We find that the G.C.F. = $2\times 3$ = 6

Thus, the maximum number of packages that can be made with each package have same number of each item is = 6
