24 4/5+6 7/10

Answer 1

To solve the addition problem 24 4/5 + 6 7/10, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
24 4/5 can be written as 24 + (4/5) = 24 * (5/5) + (4/5) = (120/5) + (4/5) = 124/5
6 7/10 can be written as 6 + (7/10) = 6 * (10/10) + (7/10) = (60/10) + (7/10) = 67/10

Step 2: Find a common denominator.
The common denominator for 5 and 10 is 10, so we need to convert both fractions to have a denominator of 10.

124/5 * 2/2 = 248/10
67/10 * 1/1 = 67/10

Step 3: Add the fractions together.
248/10 + 67/10 = 315/10

Step 4: Simplify the fraction (if required).
The fraction 315/10 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5.

315/10 ÷ 5/5 = (315 ÷ 5) / (10 ÷ 5) = 63/2

Therefore, 24 4/5 + 6 7/10 = 63/2 or 31 1/2.
