Question

3/8 + 1/4 + 2/3 + 1/2 =

Answer 1

Answer:

$1\frac{19}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 can easily become 2/8 and 1/2 can become 4/8.

combine with 3/8 = 9/8 or $1\frac{1}{8}$.

add 2/3 to that by first making them have the same denominator, 24.

16/24 + 27/24 = 43/24 which can be reduced to $1\frac{19}{24}$.

Answer 2

Answer:

1 19/24

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 + 1/4 + 2/3 + 1/2

The common denominator is 24

3/8 *3/3 + 1/4 *6/6 + 2/3 *8/8   + 1/2 *12/12

9/24 + 6/24 + 16/24 + 12/24

43/24

Changing to a mixed number

24/24 +19/24

1 19/24
