Answer:

6 $\frac{7}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

original equation: $3\frac{4}{5}+ 2 \frac{3}{8}$

put into mixed numbers: $\frac{19}{5} + \frac{19}{8}$

find the lowest common denominator: 40

adjusted to LCD: $\frac{152}{40} + \frac{95}{40\\}$ $=\frac{247}{40}$

152+ 95= 247

247/40= 6.175

0.175 as a fraction is $\frac{7}{40}$

answer: 6 $\frac{7}{40}$

A fuel tank contains 1 3/4 gallons of gasoline. Casey adds 33 1/3 gallons of gasoline to the tank. How many gallons of gas does

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

35 1/12 gallons of gasoline

Step-by-step explanation:

so what you're going to do is take both of the fractions (3/4 and 1/3) and convert them into two fractions with the same denominator so you can add them easily. the closest number that you can convert them to would be a denominator of 12, so we would turn 3/4 into its equivalent of 9/12 and 1/3 would now be 4/12. now we add them and get 13/12, which is an improper fraction, so we would change that to 1 and 1/12. and finally, we add 1 1/12 + 1 + 33 and we would get 35 and 1/12 as our final answer :)
