Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows 2 bars. The first bar is divided vertically into 4 equal parts, and 3 parts are shaded. The second bar is divided vertically into 6 equal parts, and 5 parts are shaded.
Add the fractions from the picture provided to create a mixed number.
(1 point)
From the picture, we can determine that the first bar is divided into 4 equal parts and 3 parts are shaded. This is equivalent to the fraction 3/4.
The second bar is divided into 6 equal parts with 5 parts shaded, which is equivalent to the fraction 5/6.
To add these two fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12.
Converting 3/4 to have a denominator of 12, we get 9/12.
Converting 5/6 to have a denominator of 12, we get 10/12.
Adding these fractions together, we get 9/12 + 10/12 = 19/12.
Since the numerator is greater than the denominator, we can simplify this mixed number. Dividing the numerator by the denominator, we get 19 ÷ 12 = 1 with a remainder of 7.
Therefore, the mixed number is 1 7/12.
