Answer 1

We need to first make these improper fractions. 5 = 40/8, so 40/8+6/8 = 46/8. Similarly, 4 = 20/5, so 20/5+4/5=24/5.

So we need to find the value of 46/8+24/5. Multiply the first fraction by 5/5 and second fraction by 8/8 to get the same denominator. We get (46*5+24*8)/8*5 = 422/40. This is equal to 400/40 + 22/40 = 10+22/40.

So the third answer choice is correct.

Hope that helped!
