I hope this is right, the negatives should go first because you are taking away, then positives
a) because the denominators are the same add the numerators:
1 1/5 + 3 2/5 = 4 3/5
b) rewrite the fractions to have a common denominator:
1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6
Now subtract:
4 3/6 - 1 2/6 = 3 1/6
If you want to increase something by 31% then...
100%+31%=131% or 1.31
you multiply it by 131% or 1.31. So for 429 grams...
429*1.31=561.99grams
If you increase 429 by 31%, you get 561.99 grams
Answer=561.99 grams
