Hello! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
So you are adding fractions, but not just any fractions, mixed numbers.
So, to start you are gonna wanna turn these mixed numbers into improper fractions.
Here are the steps!
1. Multiply the whole number by the denominator
2. Add that to the numerator
3. Write the number you now have over the original denominator
So 4 4/7 = 32/7
3 6/7 = 27/7
You can only add or subtract fractions with like denominators. This just means denominators with the same number. In our case, we already have like denominators. They are both seven! So the adding process easy. Simply add the numerators and keep the denominators the same!
32 + 27= 59/7
Bam! 59/7 is your answer! If you would like to turn this back into a mixed number, here are the steps:
1. Divide numerator by denominator
2. Put that number as the whole number
3. Use the remainder as the numerator
4. Keep the same denominator
So, 59/7 = 8 3/7
So your answer is 59/7, or, 8 3/7.
Have a great day! And feel free to reply with any questions! (〃^∇^)ﾉ
