Answer 7

If you don't believe me type it into your calculator and double check

Answer 8

but just for you I will work it out

Answer 9

so first we find the least common denominator between 5 and 4 which in this case is 20

Answer 10

2+12/20+55/20=(40+12+55)/20=107/20=5 7/20

Answer 11

and so we multiply so that each fraction is divided by 20

Answer 12

14 3/4

Answer 14

i dont know i have a calculator and it says 5 7/20

Answer 15

2*20= 40 so we have
40/20
4*5=20 so we multiply top and bottom by 4 and we get
12/20
5*4=20 so we multiply top and bottom by 5 and we have
1(5/20)

Answer 16

why *?

Answer 17

add

Answer 18

so the answer is 14 3/4?

Answer 19

i mdont know

Answer 20

now 1=20/20 so we add that and we have\[\frac{ 40 }{ 20 }+\frac{ 12 }{ 20 }+\frac{ 25 }{ 20 }\]

Answer 21

www.mathway.com try this

Answer 22

this equals\[\frac{ 77 }{ 20 }\]

Answer 23

20 goes into 77, 3 times, and we have a remainder of 17

Answer 24

your last fraction is wrong

Answer 25

11*5=55 not 25!!

Answer 26

it's not 11 in the original problem. It's 1

Answer 27

it's\[1\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]

Answer 28

oh well then let me count

Answer 29

3 17/20
