Answer: The answer is Three whole and five sixths (3 5/6)
Step-by-step explanation: One whole and three fourths can be expressed as 1 3/4, and this is added to five sixths, that is, 5/6. therefore these can be expressed as
[1 3/4 + 5/6}
The other part of the questions says one whole and one fourth which can be expressed as 1 1/4.
The entire question can now be written out as
[1 3/4 + 5/6] + [1 1/4]
We would start by solving for the left hand side of the expression
1 3/4 + 5/6
= 7/4 +5/6
By using a common denominator which is 12 (the LCM), the expression now becomes,
[21 + 10]/12
= 31/12
We can now add this to the right hand side of the expression. Thus,
[31/12] + 1 1/4
=31/12 + 5/4
By using a common denominator which is also 12, the expression now becomes,
[31 + 15]/12
= 46/12, By simplifying further we arrive at,
23/6.
Written as a proper fraction, this becomes
3 5/6 (Three whole and five sixths)
