Question

$$5\frac{1}{4}+3\frac{5}{8}$$

Evaluate

$\frac{71}{8}=8.875$

Solution Steps

Multiply $5$ and $4$ to get $20$.

$$\frac{20+1}{4}+\frac{3\times 8+5}{8}$$

Add $20$ and $1$ to get $21$.

$$\frac{21}{4}+\frac{3\times 8+5}{8}$$

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

$$\frac{21}{4}+\frac{24+5}{8}$$

Add $24$ and $5$ to get $29$.

$$\frac{21}{4}+\frac{29}{8}$$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $8$ is $8$. Convert $\frac{21}{4}$ and $\frac{29}{8}$ to fractions with denominator $8$.

$$\frac{42}{8}+\frac{29}{8}$$

Since $\frac{42}{8}$ and $\frac{29}{8}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{42+29}{8}$$

Add $42$ and $29$ to get $71$.

$$\frac{71}{8}$$
