ANSWER: 55

Answer 2

Answer:55

Step-by-step explanation:

So for the first mixed fraction, you would multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the product to the numerator. you keep the number 4 as the denominator, not the product of the whole number and it. do the same thing with the other mixed fraction. then you add both of the improper fractions together.

8 1$8* 4 + 1= 33 so the improper fraction would be: \frac{33}{4} \\6*3+2= 20 so the improper fraction would be \frac{20}{3}\\ \frac{33}{4} +\frac{20}{3}= 14 and \frac{12}{11} or \frac{179}{12}$
