How do you think you will add mixed numbers, such as 1 1 2 + 3 3 4

Given, 1 1 2 + 3 3 4 Convert the given mixed fraction into improper fraction. 1 1 2 = 1 × 2 + 1 2 = 3 2 and 3 3 4 = 3 × 4 + 3 4 = 15 4 Because denominator of both the fractions are not same so, take LCM and convert the fraction into like fraction. So, LCM of 2 & 4 = 4 Now convert the denominator of both the fraction into 4 . The number multiply in denominator will multiply in numerator also. 3 × 2 2 × 2 + 15 × 1 4 × 1 = 6 4 + 15 4 Add numerators only and write the denominator as it is. 21 4 Thus when we add given mixed fraction we will get answer 21 4
