Answer: 327/40 or 8 7/40 or 8.175
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Convert them into improper fractions (5 3/8 -> 43/8, 2 4/5 -> 14/5)
2. Find the LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) of the denominators in order to add the fractions (LCM of 8 and 5 is 40)
3. Find the fact or enlargement for the denominator to turn into 40, and apply it for numerator as well (40/8=5, 43 x 5 = 215) and (40/5=8, 14 x 8 = 112)
4. Add the numerators and convert into desired answer (if needed)
215/40 + 112/40 = 327/40 = 8 7/40 = 8.175
Step-by-step explanation:
soln here,
53/8 + 24/5
=53×5+24×8/80
=265+192/80
=457/80
Answer=457/80
