To add the whole number 3 and the mixed number 1 4/5, follow these steps:
1. Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. For 1 4/5:
– Multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (5): 1 × 5 = 5
– Add the numerator (4) to this result: 5 + 4 = 9
– The improper fraction is 9/5.
2. Now, add this to the whole number 3. First, convert 3 into a fraction with the same denominator (which is 5):
– 3 = 3/1 = (3 × 5)/(1 × 5) = 15/5.
3. Now add the two fractions:
– 15/5 + 9/5 = (15 + 9)/5 = 24/5.
4. To express 24/5 as a mixed number, divide 24 by 5:
– 24 ÷ 5 = 4 with a remainder of 4, so the mixed number is 4 4/5.
Thus, the answer is:
4 4/5
