How to solve 4/3 + 5/4​

Answer 1

2(7/12)

Explanation:

First, try to match the denominators.

4/3+5/4

To match the denominators, multiply them with each other.If the denominator multiplys with each other, the numerator also have to multiply too.

=
`((4*4))/((3*4)) +((5*3))/((4*3))`

=
`(16)/(12) +(15)/(12)`

=
`(16+15)/(12)`

=
`(31)/(12)` (If you want it as a improper fraction, you can stop here)But normally we continue till we get a mixed number if we get a improper fraction.

So 31/12 equals to 2(7/12) as a mixed number

Answer 2

Explanation:

First, you need to get a common denominator.

You can do this by multiplying each fraction by 3 or 4.

See,

4/3 * 4/4=16/12

5/4 * 3/3=15/12

16+15=31

31/12
