B. False

Answer 1

How is it A?

Answer 2

wait no it's B

Answer 3

Explanation please.

Answer 4

get a common denominator: 12

Answer 5

so now you have 25 and 8/12
and 19 and 9/12

Answer 6

since 8/12 + 9/12 = 17/12 you take 12 and it goes into 17 once, so now you have 1 5/12

Answer 7

add it all up and you get 45 5/12

Answer 8

let me look it over to make sure I got the right answer

Answer 9

do you need to show your work? I can put it up here

Answer 10

\[25\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } + 19\frac{ 3 }{ 4 } \]

Answer 11

take the fractions and find a common denominator

Answer 12

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } + \frac{ 3 }{ 4 } \]

Answer 13

so do 3 x 4

Answer 14

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } x \frac{ 4 }{ 4 } = \frac{ 8 }{ 12 }\]

Answer 15

\[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 } x \frac{ 3 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 9 }{ 12 }\]

Answer 16

\[now, \frac{ 8 }{ 12 } + \frac{ 9 }{ 12 } = \frac{ 17 }{ 12 }\]

Answer 17

since \[\frac{ 17 }{ 12 }\] is not a correct fraction, you want to take 12 and it goes into 17 once, now you have \[1\frac{ 5 }{ 12 }\]

Answer 18

You're going to take your whole numbers from before and add them to \[1\frac{ 5 }{ 12 }\]

Answer 19

\[1\frac{ 5 }{ 12 } + 25 + 19= 45 \frac{ 5 }{ 12 }\]
