Answer:


\displaystyle (41)/(12)

Explanation:


  • \displaystyle (5)/((3)/(2) ) + ((1)/(3) )/(4)

Start by focusing on 5/(3/2) first.

Multiply 5 by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction 3/2: 2/3.


  • \displaystyle 5 * (2)/(3) = (10)/(3)

Now, multiply 1/3 by the reciprocal of 4: 1/4.


  • \displaystyle (1)/(3) * (1)/(4) = (1)/(12)

Add these two fractions together.


  • \displaystyle (10)/(3) + (1)/(12)

Multiply 10/3 by 4/4 to get common denominators with 1/12.


  • \displaystyle (10)/(3) \Big ((4)/(4) \Big ) + (1)/(12)

  • \displaystyle (40)/(12) + (1)/(12) = (41)/(12)

The answer to the given problem is 41/12.
