Question

How to add 1 7/8 and 2 2/3.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

`1 (7)/(8)+2 (2)/(3)`

add by the whole numbers.

`1+2=3`

then combine the fraction.

`=(37)/(24)`

`3+(37)/(24)`

convert improper fractions into the mixed numbers.

`(37)/(24)=1 (13)/(24)`

finally add by the numbers.

`3+1=4`

`\boxed{=4(13)/(24) }`

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Convert le fractions to whole numbers or decimals. So multiply the whole number to the denominator and then make them equal to each other. That would make 15 over 8 and 8 over 3. Now you have to make those two numbers denominators the same. So multiply 8 by 3 to get 24, and 3 by 8 to get 24. Then multiply the numerators by 3 and by 8. Add 45 over 24 and 64 over 24. Then simplify and then theres yo answer. It is 4 13/24
