Mixed fractions have a whole and a part
Eg: 1 1/2, 2 2/3, 7 6/11, 8 1/8
Β
Letβs take some examples
Β
Add 1 1/2 & 3 1/2
11/2 = 1 + 1/2 = (1 Γ 2 + 1)/2 = (2 + 1)/2 = 3/2
31/2 = 3 + 1/2 = (3 Γ 2 + 1)/2 = (6 + 1)/2 = 7/2
Β
Thus,
Β 1 1/2 + 3 1/2 = 3/2 + 7/2
Β Β Β Β Β Β = (3 + 7)/2
Β Β Β Β Β Β = 10/2
Β Β Β Β Β Β = 5
Β
Subtract 8 Β 1/3 & 5 2/3
81/3 = 8 + 1/3 = (8 Γ 3 + 1)/3 = (24 + 1)/3 = 25/3
52/3 = 5 + 2/3 = (5 Γ 3 + 2)/3 = (15 + 2)/3 = 17/3
Β
Thus,
Β 8 Β 1/3 β 5 2/3 = 25/3 β 17/3
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β = (25 - 17)/3
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β = 8/3
Β
Add 1 1/2 & 7 4/11
1 1/2 = 1 + 1/2 = (1 Γ 2 + 1)/2 = (2 + 1)/2 = 3/2
74/11 = 7 + 4/11 (7 Γ 11 +4)/11 = (77 + 4)/11 = 81/11
.
Thus,
Β 1 1/2 + 74/11 = 3/2 + 81/11
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β = (3 Γ 11 + 81 Γ 2)/(2 Γ 11)
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β = (33 + 162)/22
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β = 195/22
Β
Subtract 9 4/7 & 8 Β 1/3
94/7 = 9 + 4/7 = (9 Γ 7 + 4)/7 = (63 + 4)/7 = 67/7
81/3 = 8 + 1/3 = (8 Γ 3 + 1)/3 = (24 + 1)/3 = 25/3
Β
Thus,
Β 94/7 β 8 Β 1/3 = 67/7 β 25/3
Β Β Β Β Β Β = (67 Γ 3 - 25 Γ 7)/(7 Γ 3)
Β Β Β Β Β Β = (201 - 175)/21
Β = 26/21
