Answer:
<h2><em><u>
decimal format = 29.25</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>
mixed number = 29 1/4</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>
Improper fraction = 117/4</u></em></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the denominators <em><u>equal</u></em> after <em><u>simplifying </u></em>the denominators*. The denominators are currently 2 and 4. So you can just make your life easier by making the denominator of the first number a 4. Multiply both sides by 2.
<em><u>1. Simplify</u></em>
<em><u>12*2+1 = 25/2</u></em>
<em><u>25/2*2/2 = 50/4</u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
<em><u>2. Simplify second number</u></em>
<em><u>16*4+3 = 67/4</u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
<em><u>3. Add the improper fractions</u></em>
<em><u>50/4 + 67/4 = 117/4</u></em>
<h2><em><u>
Total answer:</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>
29.25 = decimal format</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>
mixed number = 29 1/4</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>
Improper fraction = 117/4</u></em></h2>
