Let’s Do Another Example! Find the sum. 4 1 9 + 3 1 3 +

Let’s Do Another Example! First we re-write the problem with common denominators. 1 + 3 4 1 9 1 X 3 3 X 3 + 3 4 4 9 1 9 7 9

Let’s Do Another Example! 4 + 5 7 8 1 4

Let’s Do Another Example! 4 + 5 7 4 8 1 4 X 2 + 5 7 8 2 8

Let’s Do Another Example! 4 + 5 7 4 8 1 4 X 2 5 + 9 7 8 2 Rename the Improper Fraction 8 9 8 = 1 1 8

Let’s Do Another Example! 4 + 5 7 4 8 1 4 X 2 + 8 2 5 8 9 9 10 7 8 1 8 = 1 1 8 Add the whole numbers.
