Question

what is 4 1/2 + 1 3/5 in the simplest form

Answer 1

Question :-

4$\frac{1}{2}$ + 1$\frac{3}{5}$

Solution :-

4$\frac{1}{2}$ + 1$\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{9}{2}$ + $\frac{8}{5}$

LCM of 2 and 5 is = 10

Now,

$\frac{9}{2}$ × $\frac{5}{5}$ = $\frac{45}{10}$

$\frac{8}{5}$ × $\frac{2}{2}$ = $\frac{16}{10}$

So, Now we have to add $\frac{45}{10}$ and $\frac{16}{10}$

$\frac{45 + 16}{10}$ = $\frac{61}{10}$

Exact Form :- $\frac{61}{10}$

Decimal Form :- 6.1

In Mixed Fraction :- 6$\frac{1}{10}$

Answer 2

$\huge \blue\star~ \pink{ \underline { \textbf{\textsf{Solution :- }}}}$

$\large \implies4 \frac{1}{2} + 1 \frac{3}{5}$

$\large\implies \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{8}{5}$

Taking LCM of 5 and 2 is 10

Then,

$\large \implies\frac{9}{2} \times \frac{5}{5} = \frac{45}{10}$

$\large \implies \frac{8}{5} \times \frac{2}{2}$

Now, We will add them

$\large \implies \frac{46 +16 }{10} = \frac{61}{10}$

Exact form= $\large \implies \frac{61}{10}$

Decimal form = 6.1

Mixed Fraction = $\large \implies</strong><strong>6</strong><strong> \frac{1}{</strong><strong>10</strong><strong>}$
