Answer:

Explanation:

First you would make 4 4/7 into an improper fraction which you would do by:

7 times 4 is 28 plus 4 is 32.

So the improper fraction is 32/7.

Next you make the denominators the same by finding the least common multiple which is 35.

35 divided by 7 is 5, which also means that 35 divided by 5 is 7.

Then you have to multiply the numerator by the same thing that you multiplied the denominator by.

32 times 5 is 160.

2 times 7 is 14.

So the new problem is 160/35 + 14/35.

You add 160 + 14 which is 174.

So the final answer is 174/ 35 because it can not be simplified any further unless you make it a mixed number which would be: 4 34/35
