Add this fraction and mix number

7/8+ 1 1/3

1 1/3 can also be written as 4/3, which is an improper fraction. You must change all mixed numbers to improper fractions before performing operations with fractions. To change a mixed number to improper fraction:

1. Multiply the whole number (in this case 1) by the denominator. 1*3=3
2. Add that answer to the numerator. 3+1=4
3. This is your new numerator. The denominator stays the same. So it's 4/3.

So now you have to find a common denominator (make both of the denominators the same.)

7/8+ 4/3

What's a common multiple of 8 and 3? One of them is 24. You must multiply the numerator by the same number as the denominator.

7*3/8*3 + 4*8/3*8= 21/24 + 32/24

Now just add up the numerators to get 53/24.

Now you can change it into a mixed number if you would like.

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

7/8 + 4/3

Get a common denominator:

21/24 + 32/24

Add them:

(21 + 32) / 24 = 53/24

Reduce to a mixed number if needed:

53/24 = 2 5/24

53/24.

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. 1 1/3 = 4/3.

7/8 + 4/3. Find the Least Common Denominator. (24)

7/8 + 4/3 = (21+32)/24


Add 32 to 21 to get 53.

1 1/3 + 7/8 LCD = 24

1 8/24 + 21/24 = 1 29/24 = 1 + 24/24 + 5/24 = 2 5/24

Answer was asked with a mixed number, I give you a mixed number. No trickery.

7/8+ 1 1/3

1 1/3=3/3+1/3=4/3

gives you
7/8+4/3

cross multiply
(21+32)/24
53/24

7/8 + 1 1/3 is 21/24 + 1 8/24 = 1 29/24 or 2 5/24.
