Question

Add. Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. 5 5 + 10 8 8 1 / 1

Answer 1

`5(5)/(8)+10(1)/(8)=(63)/(4)`

Step by step explanation:

Remember that to convert a mixed number to a fraction, we do the following:

`a(b)/(c)=(a\cdot c+b)/(c)`

Then,

`5(5)/(8)+10(1)/(8)=(40+5)/(8)+(80+1)/(8)`

Now, operate the fractions:

`(45)/(8)+(81)/(8)=(126)/(8)=(63)/(4)`
