Question

(2 5/8 + 5/6) + 1 1/8 in simplest form?

Answer 1

Hi There!

Find Common Denominators:

2 5/8 = 2 15/24

5/6 = 20/24

1 1/8 = 1 3/24

Turn Into Improper Fractions:

2 15/24 = 63/24

20/24 = 20/24

1 3/24 = 27/24

Add:

= (63/24 + 20/24) + 27/24

= (83/24) + 27/24

= 110/24

Simplify:

110/24 = 4 14/24 = 4 7/12

Answer:

4 7/12

Hope This Helps :)
