Answer:
First Example: 3 1/2 + 4 3/4, Second Example: 6 3/8 + 7 9/15
Extra Example: 8 4/20 + 3 5/10
Step-by-step explanation:
First Example:
1/2 + 3/4
1/2 is equal to 2/4 so it is now compatible to be added to 3/4.
2/4 + 3/4
= 5/4
Now for the mixed numbers since its 3 and 4, 3 + 4 = 7.
Final answer is 7 5/4.
Second Example:
3/8 + 9/15
9/15 can be reduced to 3/5
Now the equation is 3/8 + 3/5
= 15/40 + 24/40 is an equivalent equation
15/40 + 24/40
= 39/40
Now for the mixed numbers since its 6 and 7, 6 + 7 = 13
Final answer is 13 39/40.
I am going to include one last example just in case you need one:
Third Example:
4/20 + 5/10
We can reduce these to
1/5 + 1/2
= 2/10 + 5/10 is the equivalent equation
2/10 + 5/10
= 7/10
Now for the mixed numbers since its 8 and 3, 8 + 3 = 11.
Final answer is 11 7/10.
I Hope this helps!
