Answer:B.7 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:Solution by separating parts

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

  1. =4+5/12+3+8/14
  • Solving the whole number parts
  1. 4+3=7
  • Solving the fraction parts
  1. 5/12+8/14=?
  • Find the LCD of 5/12 and 8/14 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.
  • LCD = 84
  1. 34/84+48/84=83/84
  • Combining the whole and fraction parts
  1. 7+83/84=7 83/84
