4 1/9 +4 3/5
well what si the first thing you are suppose to do with fractions??
are you there?
yes
do you want me to explain it to you??
yes
ok first you have the equation 4 1/9 + 4 3/5. well you must change it into a improper fraction 37/9 + 20/5. then you must have the gcf (greatest common factor). 185/45 + 180/45 then you add 365/45 = 8 4/45 or 8 1/9
4 1/9 + 4 3/5 = 4 + 1/9 + 4 + 3/5 = 4 + 4 + 1/9 + 3/5 = 8 + 1/9 + 3/5 = 8 + (5*1)/(5*9) +(9*3)/(9*5 ) = 8 + 5/45 +27/45 = 8 + (5+27)/45 = 8 + 32/45 = 8 32/45
@FriedRice , your method is sound, but you made an error with that second improper fraction 4 3/5 = (4*5 + 3)/5 = 23/5 (whereas you got 20/5)
ohhh crap sorry man ill try well next time.
