@angel12310 please come help me

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

\[3\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }+4\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }\]
First make the fractions have a common denominator.
\[3\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }+4\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }\]
\[ =\frac{ 11 }{ 3 }+\frac{ 33 }{ 8 }\]
\[=\frac{ 11\times8 }{ 3\times8 }+\frac{ 33\times3 }{ 8\times3 }\]
\[=\frac{ 88 }{ 24 }+\frac{ 99 }{ 24 }\]
\[=\frac{ 187 }{ 24 }\]
\[=7\frac{ 19 }{ 24 }\]

James do wrong.

Answer 5

I hope my reply does not come so late. It take me a long time.

Answer 6

3 2/3 + 4 1/8
11/3 + 33/8

= ((11 × 8) + (33 × 3)) / (3 × 8)

= (88 + 99) / 24

= 187/24

= 187/24

= 7 19/24

\[3\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }=\frac{ 11 }{ 3 }, 4\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }=\frac{ 33 }{ 8 }\], is it?

Answer 14

hmm...

Answer 15

3 2/3 + 4 1/8 then change them into an improper fraction:
11/3 + 33/8

= ((11 × 8) + (33 × 3)) / (3 × 8)

= (88 + 99) / 24

= 187/24

= 187/24

= 7 19/24
