The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem \(2 \frac{4}{5} + 3 \frac{3}{5}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, we use the formula: \[ \text{Improper Fraction} = ( \text{Whole Number} \times \text{Denominator} ) + \text{Numerator} \div \text{Denominator} \] For \(2 \frac{4}{5}\): - Whole Number = 2 - Numerator = 4 - Denominator = 5 Calculating: \[ 2 \frac{4}{5} = \frac{(2 \times 5) + 4}{5} = \frac{10 + 4}{5} = \frac{14}{5} \] For \(3 \frac{3}{5}\): - Whole Number = 3 - Numerator = 3 - Denominator = 5 Calculating: \[ 3 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{(3 \times 5) + 3}{5} = \frac{15 + 3}{5} = \frac{18}{5} \] ### Step 2: Add the Improper Fractions Now we can add the two improper fractions: \[ \frac{14}{5} + \frac{18}{5} \] Since the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators directly: \[ = \frac{14 + 18}{5} = \frac{32}{5} \] ### Step 3: Convert the Improper Fraction Back to a Mixed Number To convert \(\frac{32}{5}\) back to a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator: - \(32 \div 5 = 6\) (whole number part) - Remainder: \(32 - (5 \times 6) = 32 - 30 = 2\) So, we can express \(\frac{32}{5}\) as: \[ 6 \frac{2}{5} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final answer is: \[ 2 \frac{4}{5} + 3 \frac{3}{5} = 6 \frac{2}{5} \] ---
