Question

How do you add `9\frac { 1} { 5}+ 8\frac { 2} { 25}`?

Answer 1

you have to equalize the fractions

Explanation:

`9 1/5 + 8 2/25`

multiply the denominator and the nominator of one of the fraction by a number that equals to the other fraction's denominator only, it does't matter if its nominator is not equal

==> `9 5/25 + 8 2/25`

and now add

==> `= 17 7/25`

make sure to simplify it afterword if it needed

you can do it in many other methods also
