Step-by-step explanation:
15 1/2+ 3/4=16 1/4
to add fractions what you want to do is this:
so you want them as the same denominator, a way to do this is multiply one denominator with another (ex, 2 in 1/2. you want to multiply 4 with 2 which equals 8 and 2 with 3. this together equals 6/8. do the same thing with 1/2. 1×4=4 2×4=8. 4/8)
so, whats 4/8 and 6/8? just adding it like usual, it'll be 10/8, or 1 2/8.
15+1 2/8=16 2/8
16 2/8 simplified (just divide by 2 until you make it to where you cant anymore)
16 1/4
do the same with the other adding ones.
23 1/6+8 3/4=23 11/12
15 2/5+ 2 2/6= 17 11/15
now, do the same way as showed before but except subtract.
9/10 - 3/5 = 15/50
7 3/4 - 5 5/8 = 1/8
20 5/8= 1/8
