Question

Add the fractions $\frac{3}{8}$ and $6\frac{3}{4}$.

Answer 1

Given: $\frac{3}{8}$ and $6\frac{3}{4}$.

Now, $6\frac{3}{4}=\frac{27}{4}$.

$\frac{3}{8}+\frac{27}{4}$.

LCM of $8$ and $4$ is $8$.

$=\frac{3+27\times 2}{8}$

$=\frac{3+54}{8}$

$=\frac{57}{8}$

$=7\frac{1}{8}$

Therefore, $\frac{3}{8}+6\frac{3}{4}=7\frac{1}{8}$.
