Help please explain quick!

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

`3(1)/(6)` +
`5(7)/(8)`

When adding two fractions, both denominators must be the same

To do this, multiply
`3(1)/(6)` by 4 to make it into
`3(4)/(24)`

And multiply
`5(7)/(8)` by 3 to turn it into
`5(21)/(24)`

The new equation is:

`3(4)/(24)` +
`5(21)/(24)` = 8
`(25)/(24)`

Since you can make a whole number from
`(25)/(24)`, the number 8 becomes a 9

and the new answers becomes
`9(1)/(24)`
