Anwer: 7 3/4


Explanation:


[(3*8)+7]/8 denominator * whole number + numerator

3 7/8 can be rewritten as 31/8

all over the denominator of 8

(31/8) * 2 Now you multiply by 2

(31/8) * 2/1 converting the whole number 2 to a fraction (anything divide by one is the original number)


(31*2)/ (8*1) (numberator *numberator) / (denominator * denominator)

=62/2 multiply the tops, multiply the bottoms

==31/2 gives you an improper fraction

=7 3/4 convert to mixed number form
