3 1/4 +3 5/8=

Answer 1

To add these mixed numbers, first convert them to improper fractions:

3 1/4 = 3 + 1/4 = 12/4 + 1/4 = 13/4

3 5/8 = 3 + 5/8 = 24/8 + 5/8 = 29/8

Now, add the fractions:

13/4 + 29/8

Since the denominators are different, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8:

(13/4)(2/2) + 29/8 = 26/8 + 29/8

Now, add the numerators together:

26/8 + 29/8 = 55/8

Lastly, simplify the fraction if needed:

55/8 = 6 7/8

Therefore, 3 1/4 + 3 5/8 = 6 7/8.
