• B. $24\frac{9}{12}$
• C. $24\frac{11}{12}$
• D. $24\frac{8}{12}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$24\frac{11}{12}$

Let us first convert the mixed fraction $13\frac{5}{3}$ to improper fraction.

$13\frac{5}{3}=\frac{13\times 3+5}{3}=\frac{44}{3}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{41}{4}+13\frac{5}{3}=\frac{41}{4}+\frac{44}{3}=\frac{41\times 3}{4\times 3}+\frac{44\times 4}{3\times 4}=\frac{123+176}{12}=\frac{299}{12}=24\frac{11}{12}$
