CAN'T*

itsmehjay · Answer

You can easily take out 2 options because your number is going to be negative since your going down.

So now we need to find a common denominator for 5 and 12
what number could work?

mhanifa · Answer

16 5/12 + 3 1/5 
You add the whole parts separately from fractions 
16 + 3 and
5/12 + 1/5
Need to bring these to common denominator. 12 and 5 have no common factors, so common denominator is their product: 12*5 = 60.
5/12 = 25/60
1/5 = 12/60
Now its easy to add them together

mhanifa · Answer

Can you add them:
16 + 3 + 25/60 + 12/60 = ...

mhanifa · Answer

19 + 37/60 = ...

mhanifa · Answer

19 37/60

mhanifa · Answer

Now you need to choose the correct option, any idea?
