THANKS
uhhhhh yeah
You and manias are both wrong.
You should see that since 2 + 3 = 5.
Change the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
To verify if your answer is correct, we need to simplify the given expression: 2 1/4 + 3 3/8 + 5/16.
First, let's convert all the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
2 1/4 = (2 × 4 + 1) / 4 = 9/4
3 3/8 = (3 × 8 + 3) / 8 = 27/8
Now, we have: 9/4 + 27/8 + 5/16
To add these fractions together, we need a common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator of 4, 8, and 16 is 16.
Now, let's rewrite each fraction with the common denominator:
9/4 = (9 × 4) / (4 × 4) = 36/16
27/8 = (27 × 2) / (8 × 2) = 54/16
5/16 remains as is
Now, we can add the fractions:
36/16 + 54/16 + 5/16 = (36 + 54 + 5) / 16 = 95/16
Since 16 can be divided evenly into 95, we can simplify it:
95 ÷ 16 = 5 remainder 15
So, the simplified fraction is 5 15/16.
Therefore, your answer of 10 12/16 is incorrect, and the correct answer is 5 15/16.
I hope this explanation helps!
