Q:
Perform the operation 8 1/2 + 5 1/8
Accepted Solution
A:
Hey there!
Here is your answer:
The proper answer to this question is option "[tex] \frac{109}{8} [/tex]
Reason:
First write down the equation:
8[tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]+5[tex] \frac{1}{8} [/tex]
Transform the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
8 [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{17}{2} [/tex]
&
5 [tex] \frac{1}{8} [/tex]= [tex] \frac{41}{8} [/tex]
Now add:
17×4=68
2×4=8
+
41×1=41
8×1=8
68+41=109
=[tex] \frac{109}{8} [/tex]
Therefore the answer would be 109/8!
If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!
Hope this helps!
