The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of the mixed fractions \(3 \frac{27}{30} + 2 \frac{7}{12}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Fractions to Improper Fractions First, we need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions. For \(3 \frac{27}{30}\): \[ 3 \frac{27}{30} = \frac{3 \times 30 + 27}{30} = \frac{90 + 27}{30} = \frac{117}{30} \] For \(2 \frac{7}{12}\): \[ 2 \frac{7}{12} = \frac{2 \times 12 + 7}{12} = \frac{24 + 7}{12} = \frac{31}{12} \] ### Step 2: Add the Improper Fractions Now we need to add the two improper fractions \(\frac{117}{30}\) and \(\frac{31}{12}\). To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 30 and 12 is 60. Convert each fraction: \[ \frac{117}{30} = \frac{117 \times 2}{30 \times 2} = \frac{234}{60} \] \[ \frac{31}{12} = \frac{31 \times 5}{12 \times 5} = \frac{155}{60} \] Now we can add them: \[ \frac{234}{60} + \frac{155}{60} = \frac{234 + 155}{60} = \frac{389}{60} \] ### Step 3: Convert the Improper Fraction to a Mixed Number To convert \(\frac{389}{60}\) into a mixed number, we divide 389 by 60. \[ 389 \div 60 = 6 \quad \text{(whole number part)} \] \[ 389 - (60 \times 6) = 389 - 360 = 29 \quad \text{(remainder)} \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{389}{60} = 6 \frac{29}{60} \] ### Final Answer The sum \(3 \frac{27}{30} + 2 \frac{7}{12} = 6 \frac{29}{60}\). ---
