Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

When adding fractions you want the denominators of your fractions to be alike.

The first thing you can do is add your two whole number 4 and 6. 4+6=10.

Now you want to combine your fractions, 3/8 and 3/4. Both fractions need to have like denominators. In order to do this we would change the 3/4 so it has a denominator of 8. I choose 8 because you can take 2*4 to get 8. Since we multiplied the denominator by 2, we have to do the same with the numerator, 3*2=6.

Your fraction is now 6/8.

We can down add 3/8 + 6/8= 9/8

Since 9/8 is improper we need to change it into a mixed number. In order to do this we need to take 9/8 which is 1 and 1/8

We now have 1 1/8 and don't forget the 10 from up above.

10+1 1/8= 11 1/8

Your final answer would be 11 1/8

Hope this helps ;)
