Answer:

3 3/5 + 1 1/4 = 4 17/20

7/8 + 1/12 = 23/24

8/9 - 2/5 = 22/45

5 1/4 - 2 2/3 = 2 7/12

Explanation:

3 3/5 + 1 1/4

First convert into improper fractions

= 18/5 + 5/4

Now find the common denominator

72/20 + 25/20 =

97/20

Now simplify

4 17/20

Next problem:

7/8 + 1/12

find the common denominator

21/24 + 2/24 =

23/24

Next problem:

8/9 - 2/5

find the common denominator

40/45 - 18/45 =

22/45

Next problem:

5 1/4 - 2 2/3

First convert into improper fractions

21/4 - 8/3

find the common denominator

63/12 - 32/12 =

31/12

Now simplify

2 7/12
