Step-by-step solution

12 steps

Here are the solutions for adding the fractions:

Part a· 3 steps

513+1245\frac{1}{3} + 1\frac{2}{4}

  1. Add the whole numbers and find a common denominator for the fractions.

    5+1=65 + 1 = 6

    The denominators are 3 and 4. The least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12.
    Convert the fractions:

    13=1×43×4=412\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{4}{12} 24=2×34×3=612\frac{2}{4} = \frac{2 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{6}{12}
  2. Add the fractions.

    412+612=4+612=1012\frac{4}{12} + \frac{6}{12} = \frac{4+6}{12} = \frac{10}{12}
  3. Combine the whole number and the fraction, then simplify the fraction.

    6+1012=610126 + \frac{10}{12} = 6\frac{10}{12}

    Divide the numerator and denominator of the fraction by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

    10÷212÷2=56\frac{10 \div 2}{12 \div 2} = \frac{5}{6}

    So, the mixed number is 6566\frac{5}{6}.

    656\boxed{\mathbf{6\frac{5}{6}}}

Part b

8415\mathbf{8\frac{4}{15}}

435+3464\frac{3}{5} + 3\frac{4}{6}

  1. Add the whole numbers and find a common denominator for the fractions.

    4+3=74 + 3 = 7

    The denominators are 5 and 6. The least common multiple of 5 and 6 is 30.
    Convert the fractions:

    35=3×65×6=1830\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 6}{5 \times 6} = \frac{18}{30} 46=4×56×5=2030\frac{4}{6} = \frac{4 \times 5}{6 \times 5} = \frac{20}{30}
  2. Add the fractions.

    1830+2030=18+2030=3830\frac{18}{30} + \frac{20}{30} = \frac{18+20}{30} = \frac{38}{30}
  3. Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number.

    3830=1830\frac{38}{30} = 1\frac{8}{30}
  4. Add this mixed number to the sum of the whole numbers.

    7+1830=88307 + 1\frac{8}{30} = 8\frac{8}{30}
  5. Simplify the fraction part.

    Divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

    8÷230÷2=415\frac{8 \div 2}{30 \div 2} = \frac{4}{15}

    So, the final answer is 84158\frac{4}{15}.

    8415\boxed{\mathbf{8\frac{4}{15}}}

Part c

14\mathbf{14}

1912+12141\frac{9}{12} + 12\frac{1}{4}

  1. Add the whole numbers and find a common denominator for the fractions.

    1+12=131 + 12 = 13

    The denominators are 12 and 4. The least common multiple of 12 and 4 is 12.
    Convert the fractions:

    912\frac{9}{12} 14=1×34×3=312\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{3}{12}
  2. Add the fractions.

    912+312=9+312=1212\frac{9}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{9+3}{12} = \frac{12}{12}
  3. Simplify the fraction.

    1212=1\frac{12}{12} = 1
  4. Add this whole number to the sum of the whole numbers from Step 1.

    13+1=1413 + 1 = 14 14\boxed{\mathbf{14}}
