1 7/8+3 3/8= 1 10/8 = 2 2/8 = 2 1/4
= 4 8/10=5 1/2
1 7/8 + 3 3/8 = 4 10/8 = 5 2/8 = 5 1/4
Ok yes I got 5 2/8
To add fractions, you need to make sure the denominators (the bottom numbers) are the same.
In this case, the denominators are already the same (8), so you can simply add the numerators (the top numbers) together.
1 7/8 + 3 3/8 = (1 + 3) + (7/8 + 3/8)
The whole numbers can be added directly: 1 + 3 = 4
For the fractional part, add the numerators together: 7/8 + 3/8 = (7 + 3) / 8 = 10/8
Now, you have 4 + 10/8.
Since the fraction 10/8 is improper (the numerator is larger than the denominator), we need to simplify it:
Divide the numerator by the denominator: 10 ÷ 8 = 1 remainder 2
This means that 10/8 can be simplified as 1 2/8, or more commonly, as 1 1/4.
Now, you can add the whole number and the simplified fraction together:
4 + 1 1/4 = (4 + 1) + 1/4 = 5 1/4
So, 1 7/8 + 3 3/8 equals 5 1/4.
