How is adding and subtracting mixed numbers similar to adding and subtracting fractions? How is adding and subtracting mixed numbers different than adding and subtracting fractions?

Sagot :

Answer:

It is similar because you have to always have the same numerator in adding or subtracting fractions. Adding fractions and subtracting mixed numbers is different because when u have a  mixed number you have to simpify it to its lowest terms to make it easy to tell if its a whole number or mixed.

example: 2 1/2 + 3/2= 4 now u know its a whole number but as a mixed number that would be 8/2

Answer:3 3/7+5 2/7 (3+5)  +3/7 + 2/7

8+5/7=8 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:3 3/7 + 5 2/7
