Answer 2

Answer: $4\ \frac{1}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can convert the Mixed numbers to Improper fractions:

- Multiply the the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction.

- Add the product obtained and the numerator of the fraction.

- The sum obtained will be the new numerator.

- The denominator does not change.

Then:

$(1\ \frac{1}{3})+(2\ \frac{3}{4})=\frac{(1*3)+1}{3}+\frac{(4*2)+3}{4}=\frac{4}{3}+\frac{11}{4}$

Now find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) and add the fractions:

$=\frac{16+33}{12}=\frac{49}{12}$

Finally, you can convert back to Mixed numbers:

-Divide the numerator by the denominator.

- Write the whole number.

- The remainder will be the new numerator.

- The denominator does not change.

Then:

$=4\ \frac{1}{12}$
