Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Add \$5 35/25 + 8 28/30\$

2

Step

We change the mixed fractions into improper fractions

\$160/25 + 268/30\$

3

Step

we need to reduce the fraction

\$32/5 + 134/15\$

4

Step

Now Least Common Multiple (LCM) between the denominators

L.C.M 5, 15 = 15

5

Step

Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by a number so that they have the LCM as their new denominator

\$ ((32\times 3 ) + (134\times1))/15\$

6

Step

Add the numerators and keep the denominator the same

\$(96 + 134)/15\$ = \$230/15\$

7

Step

Divide the numerator with the denominator

\$230\div15\$

8

Step

You will get values of quotient (q) and remainder ( r )

q = 15, r = 5

9

Formula:

\$"Mixed fraction"\$ = \$"Whole number" + "Numerator" /"Denominator"\$

\$15 5/15\$

SumUp

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

11

Choice.A

\$16 3/15\$ is incorrect because the simplified fraction is \$2 5/15\$, not \$3 5/15\$

\$16 3/15\$

12

Choice.B

The correct answer represents the proper simplified fraction for the given sum

\$15 5/15\$

13

Choice.C

\$16 2/15\$ is incorrect because the simplified fraction is \$2 5/15\$, not \$2 5/15\$

\$16 2/15\$

14

Choice.D

\$16 1/15\$ is incorrect because the simplified fraction is \$2 1/15\$, not \$3 1/15\$

\$16 1/15\$
