Question

Add. Express your answer as a fraction. Do not include spaces in your answer. 5 1/4 + 15.5​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add together the whole numbers:

5 + 15

= 20

Then, add the fractions and decimals together:

Convert 1/4 to a decimal, which is 0.25

Add the decimals together:

0.25 + 0.5

= 0.75

Convert this to a fraction:

0.75 = 3/4

Then, add together 20 and 3/4

20 + 3/4

= 20 3/4
