Add 6 (3)/(4)+3 (5)/(8)+2 (1)/(3) (a) 11 (5)/(6) (b) 12 (17)/(24) (c) 12 (5)/(12) (d) 11 (7)/(24

step 1 Okay, so we'll start by changing each fraction, each mixed faction into an improper fraction. So

Add 6 (3)/(4)+3 (5)/(8)+2 (1)/(3) (a) 11 (5)/(6) (b) 12...

Key Concepts

Fraction Addition

Adding fractions involves summing the numerators of fractions that have the same denominator. This basic operation of combining fractions is a fundamental skill in arithmetic that ensures the parts are combined correctly.

Simplification

Simplification involves reducing a fraction to its simplest form by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor. This step is essential to provide an answer that is both correct and in its most understandable form.

Common Denominator

When adding fractions with different denominators, a common denominator is needed to rewrite the fractions as equivalent fractions. This common denominator is typically the least common multiple of the original denominators, which enables direct addition of the fractions.

Conversion between Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions

This technique involves transforming mixed numbers into improper fractions, where the numerator is larger than the denominator. Converting makes it easier to perform arithmetic operations like addition or subtraction, and the result is often converted back to a mixed number for interpretation.

Mixed Numbers

Mixed numbers are numbers that consist of a whole number combined with a fraction. They are frequently used to represent quantities that are greater than one and are converted to improper fractions to simplify arithmetic operations.
