Question

Can someone help me with this problem it’s question number 6

Answer 1

`(57)/(16)` lb

Explanation:

`(7)/(8) +1(3)/(4) +(15)/(16)`

Change the mixed fraction into an improper fraction,

`(7)/(8) +(7)/(4) +(15)/(16)`

Now convert the denominator to 16 (since 8 and 4 are factors of 16)

And remember that what you do to the denominator, you must do the same to the numerator!

`(14)/(16) +(28)/(16) +(15)/(16)`

Now that we have all fractions with the same denominator, we can simply add all the numerators together,

=
`(57)/(16)`

It cannot be simplified any further, so this is your answer!

Hope this helped!!
