yes

Answer 4

First I would convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions:
\[2\frac{5}{6} is the same as \frac{12 + 5}{6} is the same as \frac{17}{6}\]
\[4\frac{1}{2} is the same as \frac{8 + 1}{2} is the same as \frac{9}{2}\]

Answer 5

You multiply the number outside the fraction by the denominator(bottom) of the fraction and add it to the numerator(top)
