Question

What is 3 and 3/5 + 1 and 1/4

Answer 1

We have the sum:

`3+(3)/(5)+1+(1)/(4)`

We can simplify it by finding a common denominator.

The least common denominator is 20, that is 5*4, so we can write:

`\begin{gathered} (3\cdot20+3\cdot4+1\cdot20+1\cdot5)/(20) \\ (60+12+20+5)/(20) \\ (97)/(20) \end{gathered}`

Answer: the sum is 97/20
