Answer:

1 11/12

=1+14+23

Solving the fraction parts

14+23=?

Find the LCD of 1/4 and 2/3 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 12

312+812=1112

Combining the whole and fraction parts

1+1112=11112

Solution by Formulas

First:

Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.

Then your initial equation becomes:

54+23

Applying the fractions formula for addition,

=(5×3)+(2×4)4×3

=15+812

=2312

Simplifying 23/12, the answer is

=1 11/12
