$$4\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }+3\frac{ 3 }{ 5 }$$becomes$$\frac{ 21 }{ 5 }+\frac{ 18 }{ 5 }$$Do you know how to add fractions?

no

anonymous · Answer

Ok, so you need a common denominator, which you already do since they are both 5. So you can add 21+18. What's 21+18?

anonymous · Answer

Or here. This will be easier.$$4\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }+3\frac{ 3 }{ 5 }$$Since you have the same denominator you can ad 4 and 3 to give you 7. then add 1 and 3. That will give you 4. Do you know what the answer is?
