add \[2\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } + 3 \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } + 5 \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\] knowing that in order to add fractions, the denominators must be the same.

add them all up?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes :) and tell me what you would get...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

137/12

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

you might want to keep it mixed fractions since that is what the options are asking for....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't get it

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

in the options for your question they are asking for answers like 11 5/12 rather then 137/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how the heck do i get that

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

137 divided by 12 = 11 point something 11 x 12 = 132 137 - 132 = 5 so mixed number value of 137/12 = 11 5/12
