I need 5 different mixed numbers that added together equal exactly 10. PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE MEDAL AND FAN TO THE FIRST PERSON TO GIVE ME A CORRECT ANSWER! Must include the 1/3 or 1/4 fractions as the fraction part of the mixed number.

Question

anonymous · Answer

Well. $$5+(-10)+15+20+(-20)=10$$

anonymous · Answer

Dont know if that is what you're looking for.

anonymous · Answer

Without using negative numbers: $$0.5+1+1.5+2+5=10$$

anonymous · Answer

So, they all have to be mixed?

anonymous · Answer

$$0.33+1.33+2.34+3.5+2.5=10$$

anonymous · Answer

So this would be mixed numbers?$$1\frac{1}{3}+2\frac{1}{3}+3\frac{1}{3}+6\frac{1}{2}+10\frac{1}{2}=10$$

danjs · Answer

a mixed number is really like a sum already

2 1/3   =  2  +  1/3

anonymous · Answer

Yea, I got it. The reply before is an answer then :)

anonymous · Answer

$$1*1/3+2*1/3+3*1/3+12*1/4+20*1/4=10$$

anonymous · Answer

$$1\frac{1}{3}+2\frac{1}{3}+3\frac{1}{3}+12\frac{1}{4}+20\frac{1}{4}=10$$

danjs · Answer

pick a base,  say 4

10 = 40/4

40/4 = (a + b + c + d + e)/4

pick some values, and make some mixed numbers

danjs · Answer

odd numbers would get you rewmainders and mixed numbers

anonymous · Answer

A mixed number has both a fraction and a whole number. 20 is a whole number @Aelia6th .

danjs · Answer

easier i think 

10 = 40/4 = (a + b + c + d + e)/4 

10 = 40/4  =  (5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 8) / 4

so you can use  5/4 + 7/4  + 9/4  + 11/4  + 8/4   =  10

anonymous · Answer

@Tommynaiter I know but when you add other mixed numbers and a fraction to the number 20 you get something that is far larger than 10. I think you should go here https://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/fractions-mixed-addition.html

danjs · Answer

in terms of 1/6 ths
10 = 60/6

5 improper fractons to turn into the mixed numbers

10 = 60/6  = a/ 6 +  b/6  +  c/6  + d/6 +  e/6

need numbers for the a though e  that will total 60, and not reduce to a non mixed number

a + b + c + d + e = 60
7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 20 = 60

so, you have a sum of fractions 

10 = 7/6 + 9/6 +  11/6  + 13/6  +  20/6

write in mixed form 


1 1/6   +   1 1/2   +   1 5/6   +   2 1/6   +  3 1/3

those should total 10
