Question

What is 24 1/2 + 15 3/8

Answer 1

Explanation:

`24 (1)/(2) + 15 (3)/(8) \\ \\ = (24 * 2 + 1)/(2) + (15 * 8 + 3)/(8) \\ \\ = (48+ 1)/(2) + (120 + 3)/(8) \\ \\ = (49)/(2) + (123)/(8) \\ \\ = (49 * 4)/(2 * 4) + (123)/(8) \\ \\ = (196)/(8) + (123)/(8) \\ \\ = (196 + 123)/(8) \\ \\ = (319)/(8) \\ \\ = 39 (7)/(8)`
