Hi there!
First, we need to add 4 2/3 and 5 2/5.
We should begin with converting the fractions into improper fractions.
4 2/3 + 5 2/5
= 14/3 + 27/5
Now, we find the common denominator.
= 70/15 + 71/15
We can add:
= 141/15
And simplify.
= 9 2/5
Finally, we subtract 1 1/2 from 9 2/5.
9 2/5 - 1 1/2
= 47/5 - 3/2
= 94/10 - 15/10
= 79/10
= 7 9/10
Your answer is 7 9/10.
Hope this helps!
