Question

4 1/2 + 3 5/6 in a fraction

Answer 1

Answer: 8 1/3

Explanation:

4 1/2 + 3 5/6

So what we do is we make them have the same denominator

1/2 = 3/6

Now... 3/6 + 5/6 = 8/6

8/6 will have to be converted into a mixed number so...

that will be 1 2/6

now we add the two whole numbers 4 and 3 which is 7

7+1=8

8 + 2/6 = 8 2/6

now simplify that and you get 8 1/3

Answer 2

8 1/3

Explanation:

4 1/2 + 3 5/6

First, we must convert the fraction to a common denominator.

1/2 = 3/6

4 3/6 + 3 5/6

3/6 + 5/6 = 8/6 = 1 2/6 = 1 1/3

1 1/3 + 4 + 3 = 8 1/3

The answer is 8 1/3.
