Elaborate Solution to find Sum of Mixed Numbers 13/4 and 27/8

The given mixed numbers are 13/4 and 27/8

Converting 13/4 mix number to fraction

Given Mixed Number is 1 3/4

A Mixed Number is an addition of it's whole number and fractional parts.

The Whole Number is 1 and the fractional part is 3/4.

On adding them, they can be written as:

1/1 + 3/4

The L.C.M of the denominators 1 and 4 is 4.

The numerator of the first fraction 1 is multiplied with the denominator of the second fraction 4.

1 x 4 + 3/4

4 + 3/4

After multiplying, the numerators 4 and 3 should be added.

7/4

The fraction value we get is 7/4.

After converting the Mixed Number 1 3/4 to the Improper Fraction,the result is 7/4.

Converting 27/8 mix number to fraction

Given Mixed Number is 2 7/8

A Mixed Number is an addition of it's whole number and fractional parts.

The Whole Number is 2 and the fractional part is 7/8.

On adding them, they can be written as:

2/1 + 7/8

The L.C.M of the denominators 1 and 8 is 8.

The numerator of the first fraction 2 is multiplied with the denominator of the second fraction 8.

2 x 8 + 7/8

16 + 7/8

After multiplying, the numerators 16 and 7 should be added.

23/8

The fraction value we get is 23/8.

After converting the Mixed Number 2 7/8 to the Improper Fraction,the result is 23/8.

Adding fractions 7/4 and 23/8

The given fractions are 7/4 and 23/8

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 7/4 and 23/8

7/4+23/8

The LCM of 4 and 8 (denominators of the fractions) is 8
2 4, 8
2 2, 4
1, 2

So the lcm of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 1 x 2 = 8


= 7 x 2 + 23 x 1/8

= 14 + 23/8

= 37/8

Result: 37/8

In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 37 ÷ 8 to get the Quotient and Remainder

37 divided by 8 using long division

The given Divisor = 8 and Dividend = 37

4
837
32
5

The Quotient is 4 and the Remainder is 5

We get the Quotient = 4 and Remainder = 5

∵ The Mixed-Fraction can be written as QuotientRemainder/Denominator

Result: 4 5/8
