Answer 1

Answer:

23: 21$\frac{23}{55}$  25: 1$\frac{44}{45}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 23:

1) add the whole numbers together: 15+5=20

2)To add fractions, both need to have the same denominator. Find a number that is a multiple of both denominators (in this case 55)

$\frac{9}{11}$ → $\frac{45}{55}$ (multiply the numerator and denominator by 5)

$\frac{3}{5}$ → $\frac{33}{55}$ (multiply the numerator and denominator by 11)

3) add the fractions together

$\frac{45}{55}$ + $\frac{33}{55}$ = $\frac{78}{55}$ (add the numerators)

4) Turn the improper fraction into a mixed number

Divide 78 by 55. You'll get a whole number and a remainder. The remainder is the new numerator: In this case 55 enters 78 once with a remainder of 23. Therefore:

1$\frac{23}{55}$

5) Add the whole numbers together to get the final answer:

20+1= 21

Answer: 21$\frac{23}{55}$

Question 25:

Follow the above steps but subtract instead of adding
