4) choose the sum that is greater than 5. 4\\frac{5}{8}+\\frac{7}{8} find the sum. write your answer as a mixed number. 4\\frac{5}{8}+\\frac{7}{8}=?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Add the fractional parts
Add $\frac{5}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{5 + 7}{8}=\frac{12}{8}$.
Step2: Simplify the fraction
$\frac{12}{8}=\frac{3}{2}=1\frac{1}{2}$.
Step3: Add the whole - number part
$4+1\frac{1}{2}=(4 + 1)+\frac{1}{2}=5\frac{1}{2}$.
Answer:
$5\frac{1}{2}$
