Question

Add this fraction 6 3/8 4 1/8

Answer 1

`6(3)/(8) + 4(1)/(8)`

1. Add the whole numbers


`6 + 4 = 10`

2. Add the fractions


`(3)/(8) + (1)/(8) = (4)/(8)`


`6(3)/(8) + 4(1)/(8) = 10(4)/(8)`

3. Reduce


`10(4 / 4)/(8 / 4) = 10(1)/(2)`


`6(3)/(8) + 4(1)/(8) = 10(4)/(8) = 10(1)/(2)`

The answer is 10 1/2
