what is the answer too; 7 3/5 + 9 2/3 =?

okay, it's easy. so you have 19/15. Tell me, how many times can 15 fit into 19? once. so write a one first. now, you just turned 15 from the numerator into one

19/15 = (15/15) + (4/15)

= 1 + (4/15)

19-15 is 4, so 19/15 is equal to 1 4/15.

now add that back to the 16 you had before, and you'll have 17 4/15.

7 3/5 + 9 2/3
= 7 9/15 + 9 10/15
= (7 + 9) + (9/15 + 10/15)
= 16 + 19/15
= 16 + ( 1 and 4/15)
= 17 4/15

7 3/5 + 9 2/3 =?

(7 x 5) + 3 = 38

(9 x 3) + 2 = 29

Original statement is same as:

38/5 + 29/3
= (38 * 3) /5 +( 29 * 5) /3
= 114 / 15 + 145 / 15
= 259 /15
= 17 4/15

7 3/5 + 9 2/3
= 7 9/15 + 9 10/15
= (7 + 9) + (9/15 + 10/15)
= 16 + 19/15
= *16 19/15
= 17 4/15

*16 + (19 ÷ 15)
= 16 + 1 4/15

1 = quotient , 4 = remainder

First you need to make them improper fractions:

(7 x 5) + 3 = 38/5

(9 x 3) + 2 = 29/3

Then you give them the same denominator by cross multiplication:

38/5 x 3/3 = 114/15

29/3 x 5/5 = 145/15

Then you add the numerators:

114 + 145 = 259/15

You can simplify this number, so that is the final improper fraction.

There is no proper fraction, as it is larger than a whole number.

The mixed number version of this fraction is:

259 / 15 = 17 (with remainders)

17 x 15 = 255
259 - 255 = 4 (that's the remainder)

So the Mixed Number answer is 17 4/15.

To get decimals, just use a calculator:

259 / 15 = 17.2666666666666666....etc

All answers:

259/15
17 4/15
17.266666666666666666666666666....

Hope that helps :)

well, very easy, you just need to divide the 19/15 and you will get
1/4/15, which is 19/15. explanation, in the 19/15 the value 1 is equivalent to 15/15, therefore the balance four adds up to the 4/15 which makes, 1/4/15. next step you just add up the 1 to the 16. you'll get 17 and then add the 4/15. tadaaa...

17 4/15

well 19/15 is a inproper fraction so you take 19-15 and you get 4, you keep the denominator and just take what u got from 19-15, which is 4 and put it over 15, the denominator, and add 1 to the 16 which gives you 17 4/15

how you find out how many to add to the big number in from of the fraction ,which is 16 in this case, is determined by how many times the numerator goes into the denominator.

hope i helped :)

you can change them both to improper fractions and add them that way. depends what your teacher is looking for. so 7 3/5 would be 114/15 after all the simplyfying, and 9 2/3 would be 145/15. add them and you get 259/15.

the 19/15 is the same as 1 and 4/15 so your final answer is 17 and 4/15
