Question

Evaluate a+b when a=5/6 and b=3 1/4

Answer 1

4 1/12

Explanation:

a = 5/6 b = 3 1/4 = 13/4

To add 5/6 + 13/4, we have to make the denominators the same:

20/24 + 78/24 = 98/24
To make it back to a mixed fraction:

4 2/24
4 1/12

Answer 2

`4(1)/(12)`

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`a+b`

`a=(5)/(6)`

`b=3(1)/(4)`

`(5)/(6) +3(1)/(4)`

To find the answer we have to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction, find the common denominator, and then add the numerators.


`(5)/(6) +3(1)/(4)`

`3(1)/(4) =4*3=12+1=(13)/(4)`

`(5)/(6) +(13)/(4)`

`(5)/(6) *4=(20)/(24)`

`(13)/(4) *6=(78)/(24)`

`20+78=98`

`(98)/(24) /2=(49)/(12)`

`(49)/(12) =49/12=4(1)/(12)`

`=4(1)/(12)`

Hope this helps.
