Question

3/8 + 1/4 + 2/3 + 1/2 =

Answer 1

`1(19)/(24)`

Explanation:

1/4 can easily become 2/8 and 1/2 can become 4/8.

combine with 3/8 = 9/8 or
`1(1)/(8)`.

add 2/3 to that by first making them have the same denominator, 24.

16/24 + 27/24 = 43/24 which can be reduced to
`1(19)/(24)`.

Answer 2

1 19/24

Explanation:

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

The common denominator is 24

3/8 *3/3 + 1/4 *6/6 + 2/3 *8/8 + 1/2 *12/12

9/24 + 6/24 + 16/24 + 12/24

43/24

Changing to a mixed number

24/24 +19/24

1 19/24
