Question

$$8\frac{3}{8}+6\frac{1}{12}; +5$$

Sort

$5,\frac{119}{8}$

Solution Steps

Multiply $8$ and $8$ to get $64$.

$$sort(\frac{64+3}{8}+\frac{6\times 2+1}{2},5)$$

Add $64$ and $3$ to get $67$.

$$sort(\frac{67}{8}+\frac{6\times 2+1}{2},5)$$

Multiply $6$ and $2$ to get $12$.

$$sort(\frac{67}{8}+\frac{12+1}{2},5)$$

Add $12$ and $1$ to get $13$.

$$sort(\frac{67}{8}+\frac{13}{2},5)$$

Least common multiple of $8$ and $2$ is $8$. Convert $\frac{67}{8}$ and $\frac{13}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $8$.

$$sort(\frac{67}{8}+\frac{52}{8},5)$$

Since $\frac{67}{8}$ and $\frac{52}{8}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$sort(\frac{67+52}{8},5)$$

Add $67$ and $52$ to get $119$.

$$sort(\frac{119}{8},5)$$
