Answer 1

46/3

Answer 2

We have to get the denominators to be equal, so we have to multiply them to the greatest common factor. The GCF of 3 and 4 is 12, so we have to multiply both fractions by 4 and 3:

\[\frac { 3 }{ 4 } • 3 = \frac { 9 }{ 12 }\]
\[\frac { 1 }{ 3 } • 4 = \frac { 4 }{ 12}\]
Now:
\[6 \frac { 4 }{ 12 } + 8 \frac{ 9 }{ 12 } = 12 \frac { 13 }{ 12 }\]

Answer 3

13/12 = 1 1/12, so the answer is \[15 \frac{ 1 }{ 12 }\]

Answer 4

I meant 14 13/12, not 12/ 13/12.
