Math Problem Statement

4 3/4 +6 3/5=

Solution

To solve 434+6354 \frac{3}{4} + 6 \frac{3}{5}, let's follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

  • 434=1944 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{19}{4}
  • 635=3356 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{33}{5}

Step 2: Find a common denominator.

The denominators are 4 and 5. The least common denominator (LCD) of 4 and 5 is 20.

Now convert both fractions to have a denominator of 20:

  • 194=9520\frac{19}{4} = \frac{95}{20}
  • 335=13220\frac{33}{5} = \frac{132}{20}

Step 3: Add the fractions.

Now that both fractions have the same denominator: 9520+13220=22720\frac{95}{20} + \frac{132}{20} = \frac{227}{20}

Step 4: Simplify the result.

Convert 22720\frac{227}{20} back to a mixed number: 22720=11720\frac{227}{20} = 11 \frac{7}{20}

Thus, the sum is 1172011 \frac{7}{20}.
