Step-by-step solution for: Adding Mixed Numbers Worksheet | Adding mixed ...
To solve the problem of adding mixed numbers, we need to follow these steps:
1. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
2. Find a common denominator for the fractions.
3. Add the fractions and the whole numbers separately.
4. Simplify the result if necessary.
Let's solve each problem step by step.
---
#### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- \( 4 \frac{3}{6} = 4 + \frac{3}{6} = \frac{24}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = \frac{27}{6} \)
- \( 2 \frac{2}{8} = 2 + \frac{2}{8} = \frac{16}{8} + \frac{2}{8} = \frac{18}{8} \)
#### Step 2: Find a common denominator.
The denominators are 6 and 8. The least common denominator (LCD) is 24.
- Convert \( \frac{27}{6} \) to a fraction with denominator 24:
\[
\frac{27}{6} = \frac{27 \times 4}{6 \times 4} = \frac{108}{24}
\]
- Convert \( \frac{18}{8} \) to a fraction with denominator 24:
\[
\frac{18}{8} = \frac{18 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{54}{24}
\]
#### Step 3: Add the fractions.
\[
\frac{108}{24} + \frac{54}{24} = \frac{108 + 54}{24} = \frac{162}{24}
\]
#### Step 4: Simplify the result.
Simplify \( \frac{162}{24} \):
\[
\frac{162}{24} = \frac{27}{4} = 6 \frac{3}{4}
\]
So, the answer is:
\[
\boxed{6 \frac{3}{4}}
\]
