I need to show my work
so, where is your work?
I don't know if your not going to help me then don't post on my site
(a) not your site
(b) we're here to help, not just do your homework.
You must have some idea how to do this. When you posted "I need to show my work" I naturally assumed you actually had done some work, but got stuck.
This should get you started:
5 3/4 = 5 + 3/4
6 2/4 = 6 + 2/4
so, add it all up:
5+6 + 3/4 + 2/4
Can you take it from there? If not, you have some serious catching up to do. If so, but you can't arrive at a solution, show where you get stuck. Then we can use your work to proceed.
I get 6/8 + 4/8 = 11 10/8
I get stuck from there
Not sure why you wound up with 10/8 instead of just 5/4, but even so, all you have left to do is to convert the improper fraction into a mixed number and add it in.
11 + 10/8
11 + 5/4
11 + 1 + 1/4
12 1/4
To add the mixed numbers 5 3/4 and 6 2/4, you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
To convert 5 3/4 to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number (5) by the denominator (4) and then add the numerator (3). This gives you (5*4 + 3)/4 = 23/4. Similarly, convert 6 2/4 to an improper fraction, which is (6*4 + 2)/4 = 26/4.
Step 2: Find a common denominator.
To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, both fractions already have the same denominator, which is 4.
Step 3: Add the fractions.
Add the numerators of the fractions and keep the denominator the same. 23/4 + 26/4 = (23 + 26)/4 = 49/4.
Step 4: Simplify the result, if necessary.
To simplify this fraction, check if the numerator and denominator have any common factors. In this case, both 49 and 4 are divisible by 1, so the fraction cannot be simplified further.
Therefore, 5 3/4 + 6 2/4 = 49/4.
