Question

Add the following fractions:
$\frac{29}{3}$ and $\frac{5}{4}$

• A. $\frac{15}{12}$
• B. $\frac{31}{3}$
• C. $\frac{131}{12}$
• D. $\frac{65}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{131}{12}$

To add the fractions, we first need to convert them into like fractions:
$\frac{29\times 4}{3\times 4}=\frac{116}{12}$

$\frac{5\times 3}{4\times 3}=\frac{15}{12}$

$\frac{29}{3}+\frac{5}{4}=\frac{116}{12}+\frac{15}{12}$

$=\frac{(116+15)}{12}=\frac{131}{12}$.
