Question

$$2\frac{4}{8}+3\frac{2}{8}$$

Evaluate

$\frac{23}{4}=5.75$

Solution Steps

Multiply $2$ and $8$ to get $16$.

$$\frac{16+4}{8}+\frac{3\times 8+2}{8}$$

Add $16$ and $4$ to get $20$.

$$\frac{20}{8}+\frac{3\times 8+2}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{20}{8}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $4$.

$$\frac{5}{2}+\frac{3\times 8+2}{8}$$

Multiply $3$ and $8$ to get $24$.

$$\frac{5}{2}+\frac{24+2}{8}$$

Add $24$ and $2$ to get $26$.

$$\frac{5}{2}+\frac{26}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{26}{8}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{5}{2}+\frac{13}{4}$$

Least common multiple of $2$ and $4$ is $4$. Convert $\frac{5}{2}$ and $\frac{13}{4}$ to fractions with denominator $4$.

$$\frac{10}{4}+\frac{13}{4}$$

Since $\frac{10}{4}$ and $\frac{13}{4}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{10+13}{4}$$

Add $10$ and $13$ to get $23$.

$$\frac{23}{4}$$
