30-4860 Online Summer 2023 HW Score: $27.42 \%$, Unit 2 Question 22, 2.6.P9- of 62 points Points: 0 of 1 Add and simplify. Then check by estimating. \[ 5 \frac{15}{16}+2 \frac{7}{8}+1 \frac{1}{3} \] \[ 5 \frac{15}{16}+2 \frac{7}{8}+1 \frac{1}{3}=8 \frac{23}{27} \] (Simplify your answer. Type a whole number, proper fraction, or mixed

Solution

Step 1 :Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: \(5 \frac{15}{16} = \frac{95}{16}\), \(2 \frac{7}{8} = \frac{23}{8}\), and \(1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}\)

Step 2 :Find a common denominator for the fractions: \(\text{lcm}(16, 8, 3) = 48\)

Step 3 :Convert the fractions to have the common denominator: \(\frac{95}{16} = \frac{285}{48}\), \(\frac{23}{8} = \frac{138}{48}\), and \(\frac{4}{3} = \frac{64}{48}\)

Step 4 :Add the fractions: \(\frac{285}{48} + \frac{138}{48} + \frac{64}{48} = \frac{487}{48}\)

Step 5 :Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number: \(\frac{487}{48} = 10 \frac{23}{48}\)

Step 6 :\(\boxed{10 \frac{23}{48}}\) is the final answer
