Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It might help to use decimals
1 1/8 = 1.125
4 2/5 = 4.4
Add these together
1.125 + 4.4 = 5.525 That's the correct answer, but likely not in the form you wanted.
1 1/8 = 9/8
4 2/5 = 22/5
9/8 + 22/5
multiply through by the Lowest Common Denominator
9*5/40 + 22*8/40 =
45/40 + 176/40
221/40
5.525
5 21/40
You get the fraction by multiplying 40 * 0.525 which is 21
So you can express 0.525 as 21 / 40
