Question

12 1/2 +23 2/3 +15 1/4

Answer 1

`51(5)/(12)`

Explanation:

Add all the whole numbers first.

12 + 23 + 15 = 50

Now, add the fractions.

Convert all the fractions to decimals by dividing them as you read them..

1/2 = 0.5

2/3 = 0.6666666

1/4 = 0.25

Add the deciamls up.

0.5 + 0.6666666 + 0.25 = 1.4166666666

Now, turn that decimal to a mixed number.

`1(5)/(12)`

Add the 50 to get
`51(5)/(12)`
