Question

Pls help me I would really appreciate if​

Answer 1

Solution:

$\bf{3 \dfrac{1}{8} \: + \: 5 \dfrac{5}{12} \: + \: \dfrac{5}{16}}$

Convert them into improper fractions.

$\implies \sf{ \dfrac{25}{8} + \dfrac{65}{12} + \dfrac{5}{16} }$

Taking LCM of denominators,

LCM = 48

Convert numerators such that they correspond with denominators.

$\implies \sf{ \bigg( \dfrac{25}{8} \times \dfrac{6}{6} \bigg) + \bigg(\dfrac{65}{12} \times \dfrac{4}{4} \bigg) + \bigg( \dfrac{5}{16} \times \dfrac{3}{3} \bigg) }$

$\implies \sf{ \dfrac{150}{48} + \dfrac{260}{48} + \dfrac{15}{48} }$

$\implies \sf{ \dfrac{425}{48} }$

Now convert this improper fraction to a mixed fraction.

$\dfrac{425}{48}= 8 \dfrac{41}{48}$

$\therefore \: \boxed{\bf{3 \dfrac{1}{8} \: + \: 5 \dfrac{5}{12} \: + \: \dfrac{5}{16}} =8 \dfrac{41}{48}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$3 \frac{1}{8} + 5 \frac{5}{12} + \frac{5}{16} \\ = \frac{25}{8} + \frac{65}{12} + \frac{5}{16}$

Now, we'll take LCM of 8,12,16 = 48

$= \frac{25 \times 6}{8} + \frac{65 \times 4}{12} + \frac{5 \times 3}{16 \times 3}$

$= \frac{150 + 260 + 15}{48}$

$= \frac{425}{48} = 8 \frac{41}{48}$

have an great day ahead !!!!
