Question

What is the result when 4$\frac{5}{6}$ is added to 11$\frac{4}{6}$ ?

• A. $\frac{98}{6}$
• B. $\frac{89}{6}$
• C. 15$\frac{9}{12}$
• D. $\frac{99}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{99}{6}$

To add these mixed fractions , first let’s convert them into improper fractions.
Converting 4$\frac{5}{6}$ into improper fraction, $\frac{(4\times 6)+5}{6}$ = $\frac{24+5}{6}$ = $\frac{29}{6}$


Converting 11$\frac{4}{6}$ into improper fraction, $\frac{(11\times 6)+4}{6}$ = $\frac{66+4}{6}$ = $\frac{70}{6}$

Adding $\frac{29}{6}$ + $\frac{70}{6}$, we get

$\frac{29+70}{6}$ = $\frac{99}{6}$ .
Therfore,option d is correct.
