Question

4 1/2 + 1 3/5 What is the sum because I’m very slow

Answer 1

First, chance the fractions so the denominators are the same. The GCF of these is 10, so multiple both numerators and denominators so the denominator is 10.

1/2 = 5/10

3/5 = 6/10

Add the wholes and the fractions:

5 11/10

Since the numerator is higher than the denominator, we can make another whole:

11/10 - 10/10 = 1/10

So 5 becomes 6 because of the whole:

5 + 1 = 6

The fraction becomes 1/10:

So the final answer is:

6 1/10

(Important Note: Unless asked, you must always put fractions into its smallest form, meaning numerator can NEVER be higher than the demoninator. When you do this process, do not forget to add the whole number or else you will be incorrect.)

(Second note: its not GCF its closest product they have.)

Answer 2

Answer:

6 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

convert mixed fraction to improper fraction

4 1/2 + 1 3/5

= (4*2 + 1) / 2 +  (1*5 + 3) / 5

= 9/2 + 8/5

= lcm of 2 and 5 = 10

= (5 * 9 + 8 * 2)  /10

= (45 + 16)  /10

= 61/10

= (60 + 1) / 10

= 6 1/10

Hope it helps.
