Question
Find the sum:
$1\frac{3}{5}+2\frac{4}{5}$
$1\frac{3}{5}+2\frac{4}{5}$
✓
Answer
The given fractions are like fractions
We know,
Sum of like fractions $=\frac{\text{Sum of the numerators}}{\text{Common denominator}}$
Thus, we have
$1\frac{3}{5}+2\frac{4}{5}$
$=\frac{8}{5}+\frac{14}{5}$
$=\frac{(8+14)}{5}$
$=\frac{22}{5}$
$=4\frac{2}{5}$
