9 1/4 + 1 4/5 =

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

\(\Large{9\frac{1}{4}+1\frac{4}{5}}\)?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Yes?

OpenStudy (joann):

You can see the step-by-step solution at Calorful: https://www.calorful.com/algebra/?q=91%2F4%2B14%2F5%3D You can use this free calculator to solve algebra questions. You can use it to save time from asking

OpenStudy (geegee04):

yes @kittiwitti1

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Well, going along those lines, you should first change everything into fractions. The \(\color{red}{\large{9}}\) in \({\Large{9\frac{1}{4}}}\) means \(\color{red}{\Large{\text{nine }\frac{4}{4}}}\) and the \(\color{blue}{\large{1}}\) in \(\Large{1\frac{4}{5}}\) means \(\color{blue}{\Large{\text{one }\frac{5}{5}}}\) So you now have something along the lines of \[\color{red}{\left(9\times\frac{4}{4}\right)}\frac{1}{4}\times\color{blue}{\left(1\times\frac{5}{5}\right)}\frac{4}{5}\]

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Ooops. I typed something wrong, instead of multiplying, you should ADD the red and blue parts

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

\(\color{seagreen}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) kittiwitti1 (EDIT) That translates into this:\[\Large{\color{red}{\left(\frac{36}{4}\right)}+\frac{1}{4}\times\color{blue}{\left(\frac{5}{5}\right)}+\frac{4}{5}}\]If you multiply everything you should get the answer. \(\color{seagreen}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

You okay ? @Geegee04

OpenStudy (geegee04):

A little confused to be honest

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

That's okay. Could you tell me where you're confused?

OpenStudy (geegee04):

So it would be 36 over 16 times20 over 25?

OpenStudy (geegee04):

@kittiwitti1

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Urgh, I think I messed up again... there are no multiplying signs. I'm sorry lol \(\color{seagreen}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) kittiwitti1 (reposting) That translates into this:\[\Large{\color{red}{\left(\frac{36}{4}\right)}+\frac{1}{4}+\color{blue}{\left(\frac{5}{5}\right)}+\frac{4}{5}}\]If you multiply everything you should get the answer. \(\color{seagreen}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

So basically I converted the whole numbers into fractions, so you get what I just posted

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

The 9 becomes 9•4 = 36, so \(\color{red}{\Large{\frac{36}{4}}}\) The 1 becomes 1•5 = 5, so \(\color{blue}{\Large{\frac{5}{5}}}\)

OpenStudy (geegee04):

Ah ok i get that

OpenStudy (geegee04):

I just dont know where to go from there

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Yeah. And then you add together which would get you: \[\left(\frac{\color{red}{36}+1}{4}\right)+\left(\frac{\color{blue}{5}+4}{5}\right)\]

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

When you add two fractions with the same denominator, you keep the bottom but add the top

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

So then you would get:\[\frac{37}{4}+\frac{9}{5}\]Now we need to have the same denominator to add, so you would have to find their LCM (Least Common Multiple), which is 20 (\(4\times5=20\)).

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

You okay so far?

OpenStudy (geegee04):

46/20?

OpenStudy (geegee04):

2 6/20?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Uh... where are you getting all that from?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Get common denoms correctly first, before adding\[\large \frac{37}{4}*\frac{5}{5}+\frac{9}{5}*\frac{4}{4}\]

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Basically instead of a 4 on the bottom of one fraction and a 5 on the bottom of another, we need the SAME NUMBER on the bottom of BOTH.

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Here, I color coded for you: \(\text{Originally Posted by}\) @agent0smith Get common denoms correctly first, before adding\[\large \frac{37}{\color{red}{4}}*\color{blue}{\frac{5}{5}}+\frac{9}{\color{blue}{5}}*\color{red}{\frac{4}{4}}\] \(\text{End of Quote}\)

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

You okay? @Geegee04

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

9 1/4 + 1 4/5 = 9 + 1/4 + 1+ 4/5 = 10 + 1/4 + 4/5 = 10 + 5/20 + 16/20 =

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

\[\Huge{↑}\]That would also work.
