Question

20 9\16 + 24 5\8 + 21 5\16 + 23 3\8 DON'T SIMPLIFY

Answer 1

Answer:

88  14/16

Step-by-step explanation:

I call these mixed numbers, a mixed number is written as a b/c and it means

$a+\frac{b}{c}$

So, we can use the above to re arrange our expression to a more convenient presentation.

we have>

$20+\frac{9}{16} + 24+\frac{5}{8} + 21+\frac{5}{16}+23+\frac{3}{8}\\ \\88+\frac{14}{16} +\frac{8}{8} \\\\89+\frac{14}{16}$

88  14/16, we tend to no simplify this expression anymore since, the number 14/16 usually means something in real life, like the diameter for a construction pipe
