addition of mixed fractions
Example: 13 2/5 + 16 1/2
1. Change the mixed fractions to improper fractions
13 2/5 = [(5 * 13)+2]/5 = (65+2)/5 = 67/5
16 1/2 = [(2 * 16)+1]/2 = (32+1)/2 = 33/2
2. Find their LCD (Least Common Denominator) and then do the addition.
67/5 + 33/2
= (134 + 165)/10
= 299/10 or 29 9/10
