Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]2\frac{11}{12} +5 \frac{1}{2} + 3\frac{3}{8}[/tex] (write them out and convert them all into mixed fractions)

[tex]\frac{35}{12} + \frac{11}{2} + \frac{27}{8}[/tex] (find the LCD aka least common denominator)

[tex]\frac{70}{24} + \frac{132}{24} + \frac{81}{24}[/tex] (add all numerators together)

[tex]\frac{283}{24}[/tex]  (this is improper, so you need to convert back to mixed by dividing)

[tex]11\frac{19}{24}[/tex] (this is your answer)
