Question

How much is 6 5/8 + 2 4/8

Answer 1

`9(1)/(8)`

Explanation:

We have the following sum of mixed numbers:

`\begin{gathered} 6\: (5)/(8)+\: 2\: (4)/(8) \\ 6+2=8 \\ (5)/(8)+(4)/(8)=(9)/(8)=(8)/(8)+(1)/(8)=1+(1)/(8) \\ \text{ therefore:} \\ 6\: (5)/(8)+\: 2\: (4)/(8)=8+1+(1)/(8)=9(1)/(8) \end{gathered}`
