Question

What is the sum in simplest form?4 +1% = 0166

Answer 1

We have a sum of mixed numbers.

To add them, we can separate the fractional part from the whole part and add the fractional part as normal fractions (looking for a common denominator).

Lastly, we see if we can convert the sum of the pure fractions into a mixed number, if it is greater than 1.

We can do this with this sum as:

`\begin{gathered} (4+(1)/(2))+(1+(3)/(5)) \\ 4+1+(1)/(2)+(3)/(5) \\ 5+(1\cdot5+3\cdot2)/(2\cdot5) \\ 5+(5+6)/(10) \\ 5+(11)/(10) \\ 5+(1+(1)/(10)) \\ 6+(1)/(10) \end{gathered}`

Answer: 6 1/10
