Question

What is 4 2/5 + 8 1/5

Answer 1

Given:

`4(2)/(5)+8(1)/(5)`

Let's perform the addition of the mixed fractions.

Step 1:

Add the whole numbers

`\text{Whole numbers = 4 + 8 = 12}`

Step 2:

Add the fractions.

Since both fractions have the same denominators, let's add the numerators

`(2)/(5)+(1)/(5)=(2+1)/(5)=(3)/(5)`

Thus, we have:

`12(3)/(5)`

ANSWER:

`12(3)/(5)`
