To add the whole number 10 and the mixed number 4 7/8, follow these steps:

1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

– The whole number part is 4.
– The fractional part is 7/8.
– Convert: ( 4 = frac{32}{8} ) (since ( 4 times 8 = 32 )).

– Now add the fractional part:

[

frac{32}{8} + frac{7}{8} = frac{39}{8}

]

2. Now add this to 10:

– Convert 10 to a fraction: ( 10 = frac{80}{8} ).

– Add the fractions:

[

frac{80}{8} + frac{39}{8} = frac{119}{8}

]

3. Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number:

– Divide 119 by 8. The quotient is 14 and the remainder is 7.
– So, ( frac{119}{8} = 14 frac{7}{8} ).

Thus, the answer is ( 14 frac{7}{8} ).
