Question

Please help with this!! I do not know the answer and I'm trying to figure it out how do I do this?!?! I forgot what to do with improper fractions!

Answer 1

Make all the fractions improper, add it, and simplify 17/4 
4 1/4
make all fractions improper, subtract, simplify
28/8
3 1/2

Answer 2

Since they both have the same denominator, just add 2 and 1, which is 3. Now, the numerator is 3 and 2. Since the denominator is 4, you have to add to the whole number. So it's 4 1/4. Same thing for nmber 2.


1: 4 1/4. 

2: 3 4/8, which can be reduced to 3 1/2
