Question

Add.write the answer as a mixed number in the simplest form.

​

Answer 1

71/12

Explanation:

First you want to make the denominators in the fractions the same number. To do so, we need to multiply both the numerators and the denominators. Do this until the denominators are the same.

`(1)/(6) *(4)/(4) = (4)/(24)`

`(3)/(4) *(6)/(6) = (18)/(24)`

Now add

`4(4)/(24) + 1(18)/(24) = 5(22)/(24)`

After adding, you need to multiply the whole numbers by the denominator and add that number to the numerator.

`5*24=120`

`(120)/(24) +(22)/(24) = (142)/(24)`

Finally simplify

`(142)/(24) / (2)/(2) = (71)/(12)`

Answer 2

5
`(11)/(12)`

Explanation:

GCF of 4 and 6 is 12

1/6 = 2/12

3/4 = 9/12

4 + 1 = 5

2/12 + 9/12 = 11/12

5 11/12
