Question

Okay I am trying to help my son. Can someone please help me and explain adding mixed numbers 4 3/10+6 9/10

Answer 1

What you can do is multiply the 4 and the 10 and get 40 then add that’s to the 3 and you get 43/10 then do the same to the other fraction and the just add normally

Answer 2

So when you add mixed numbers, you must convert it into fractions. The four would become part of the fraction and be 43/10 and the six becomes part of the fraction which is 69/10. You can find this by multiplying 4 by the denominator and then adding it to the numerator (4 Times 10 = 40 + 3 = 43/10) and same for the other one. The answer is 112/10, simplify to 11 1/5.
