Question attached below! :3

Answer 1

Do you want to go thru it step by step?

Answer 2

sure! :3

Answer 3

Good. It might help if the fractions are separated from the whole numbers, as follows:
\[\large 10+3+2+\frac{5}{8}+\frac{5}{8}+\frac{3}{8}=n+12\]
Now are you able to add just the three fractions?

Answer 4

yes, thank you!

Answer 5

I got 16.625

Answer 6

For example:
\[\large \frac{2}{9}+\frac{5}{9}+\frac{7}{9}=\frac{14}{9}=1\frac{5}{9}\]

Answer 7

Ohh, I got 16.625

Answer 8

Please just add the three fractions as follows:
\[\large \frac{5}{8}+\frac{5}{8}+\frac{3}{8}=?\]

Answer 9

okay!

Answer 10

I got 1.625

Answer 11

Correct, although it is best written as a fraction. the reason being that the answer choices are mixed numbers.
\[\large 1.625=1\frac{5}{8}\]
Do you understand this point?

Answer 12

Thank you!

Answer 13

but there is no option like that? :3

Answer 14

So now we have dealt with the sum of the 3 fractions, the calculation can be written as follows:
\[\large 10+3+2+1\frac{5}{8}=n+12\]
Can you add the four numbers on the left hand side of the above equation?

Answer 15

Just add the numbers as follows:
10 + 3 + 2 + 1 = ?
Then put five-eighths on the end of the result.

Answer 16

10+3+2+158 = 1.625 + 12 = 13.625

Answer 17

10 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 16

Answer 18

what are the five-eighths?

Answer 19

\[\large 1\frac{5}{8}=1+\frac{5}{8}\]
We already included the value 1 in the total 16. Now we need to add the five-eighths, giving:
\[\large 16\frac{5}{8}=n+12\]The final step is to solve this equation by subtracting 12 from the left hand side and subtracting 12 from the right hand side:
\[\large 16\frac{5}{8}-12=n+12-12\]

Answer 20

okay, I have 7 minutes left for the answer, lol XD

Answer 21

As you can see, the 12's cancel out on the right hand side of the equation, leaving us with n.
What will be the result on the left hand side?

Answer 22

4.625

Answer 23

\[\large 16\frac{5}{8}-12=?\]

Answer 24

4.625?

Answer 25

Yes, and putting the decimal result as a mixed number we get:
\[\large 4.625=4\frac{5}{8}=n\]

Answer 26

Thank you! Is that the answer? :3

Answer 27

You're welcome :) You now have found the correct answer.
