4 5/8 + 9 3/5 =

need to show how I got answer

I know that the Lcd is 40 and then it is 25/40 + 24/40= 49/40 and then I don't know what to do from there

4 5/8 = 4 25/40

9 3/5 = 9 24/40

Add the whole numbers and then add the fraction numerators.

13 49/40

That's more than 13 -- so --

14 9/40

Thank you

You're welcome.

To solve the addition problem 4 5/8 + 9 3/5, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
4 5/8 = (4 * 8 + 5) / 8 = 37/8
9 3/5 = (9 * 5 + 3) / 5 = 48/5

Step 2: Find the least common denominator (LCD) of the fractions, which is the smallest multiple that both denominators (8 and 5) evenly divide into. In this case, the LCD is 40.

Step 3: Determine the equivalent fractions for both fractions with the LCD:
37/8 = (37/8) * (5/5) = 185/40
48/5 = (48/5) * (8/8) = 384/40

Step 4: Add the equivalent fractions together:
185/40 + 384/40 = (185 + 384) / 40 = 569/40

Therefore, the solution to 4 5/8 + 9 3/5 is 569/40.

Note: If you prefer to leave the answer as a mixed number, you can divide the numerator (569) by the denominator (40) to obtain the whole number and the remaining fraction. In this case, the answer would be 14 9/40.
