Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This question utilizes combining like terms and common denominators. First you have to convert both terms including "a" to have a denominator of 8. You would do this by multiplying both the numerator, and the denominator by the same value. This value in the case of 
would be 2, and in the case of 
the value would be 2. This would result in the equation: 
. Then simply combine like terms to get your final answer.
Answer:
3 3/5 + 1 1/4 = <u>4 17/20</u>
7/8 + 1/12 =<u> 23/24</u>
8/9 - 2/5 = <u>22/45</u>
5 1/4 - 2 2/3 = <u>2 7/12</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
3 3/5 + 1 1/4
First convert into improper fractions
= 18/5 + 5/4
Now find the common denominator
72/20 + 25/20 =
97/20
Now simplify
4 17/20
<u>Next problem:</u>
7/8 + 1/12
find the common denominator
21/24 + 2/24 =
23/24
<u>Next problem:</u>
8/9 - 2/5
find the common denominator
40/45 - 18/45 =
22/45
<u>Next problem:</u>
5 1/4 - 2 2/3
First convert into improper fractions
21/4 - 8/3
find the common denominator
63/12 - 32/12 =
31/12
Now simplify
2 7/12
