Hello There!
1 + 2
= 4
First, when we are trying to find the sum of a mixed number, I always add the natural numbers first meaning that the numbers before the fraction so I would add 1 and 2 together so we get a sum of 3 and now we are left with just a plain fraction.
Next, I find the least common denominator which is the smallest number that can be a common denominator for a set of fractions. Our lowest common denominator is 8 because =
.
Then, we add our fractions with the denominator of 8 together and get a sum of 9/8 which we can turn into a mixed number because the numerator is bigger than our denominator.
Our mixed number turns into 1 and 1/8 and we add 4 to it because that was the sum of our natural numbers and get a sum of 4 and 1/8
