Verified archiveTo add the mixed numbers 4 4/5 and 9 2/5, follow these steps:
1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
– For 4 4/5: (4 times 5 + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24), so it becomes (frac{24}{5}).
– For 9 2/5: (9 times 5 + 2 = 45 + 2 = 47), so it becomes (frac{47}{5}).
2. Add the improper fractions:
[
frac{24}{5} + frac{47}{5} = frac{24 + 47}{5} = frac{71}{5}
]
3. Convert back to a mixed number:
– Divide 71 by 5. It goes 14 times with a remainder of 1, so we have 14 and (frac{1}{5}).
– Thus, (frac{71}{5} = 14 frac{1}{5}).
So, the final answer is (14 frac{1}{5}).
