Add 3 5/7+ 7 1/2

Answer 1

To add 3 5/7 and 7 1/2, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

3 5/7 = (7 * 3 + 5) / 7 = 26/7
7 1/2 = (2 * 7 + 1) / 2 = 15/2

Now, we can add the two fractions:

26/7 + 15/2

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 14:

26/7 * 2/2 = 52/14
15/2 * 7/7 = 105/14

Now, we can add the fractions:

52/14 + 105/14 = (52 + 105) / 14 = 157/14

So, the sum of 3 5/7 and 7 1/2 is 157/14.
