Answer:5&11/40ths

Explanation:

Add the whole number first

4+2/5+3/8+1/2

Find the Least Common Deminator (5,8,2), which would be fourty. Make the denominators the same as the LCD then simplify so all the denominators will be the same.

4+16/40+15/40+20/40

4+16+15+20/40

4+51/40

4+1&11/40

5&11/40

Hope this helps, have a BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Superbowl Weekend! :-)
