Question

1/2 + 4 5/8 please help

Answer 1

5 1/8 correct answer to question

Answer 2

`5 (1)/(8)`

Explanation:

Remember that
`(1)/(2) = (4)/(8)`, so we want to find
`(4)/(8) + 4 + (5)/(8) = 4 + (9)/(8)`. However, this is not in it's simplest form because
`(9)/(8)` should be
`1 (1)/(8)`. Therefore, the final answer is
`4+1+(1)/(8) = 5 (1)/(8)`.
