Question

Josh is solving the equation 2 % + 2% and predicts that his

answer will be more than 4 but less than 5, because 2 + 2
= 4.
7. After you solve for the Least Common Denominator,
totally solve the problem. What is the final answer to the
problem as a MIXED NUMBER? (Make sure you simplify
and NO improper fractions.)

Answer 1

4 5/6 Hope this helps.

You have to find the common denominator for 1/3 & 4/8. & it’s 24. By doing that you have to multiply 3x8, when you do that you also have to multiply 1x 8 so you get 8/24 , same with 4/8 but with three so you get 12/24. Then add your answer 20/24, which equals out to 20/24 which reduces to 5/6. Add 5/6 to 2+2 and you’re left with 4 5/6. Hope this helps.
