1 1/8 + 2 3/4

Answer 1

To add 1 1/8 and 2 3/4, we need to first convert them into improper fractions.

1 1/8 = (8*1 + 1)/8 = 9/8

2 3/4 = (4*2 + 3)/4 = 11/4

Now, we can add the fractions:

9/8 + 11/4

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8. So, let's convert the fractions to have a common denominator of 8:

9/8 = (9/8) * (1/1) = 9/8

11/4 = (11/4) * (2/2) = 22/8

Now, we can add the fractions:

9/8 + 22/8 = 31/8

Therefore, 1 1/8 + 2 3/4 = 31/8.
