Work out 2 2/7 + 1 1/4
Give your answer as a mixed number in its simplest form.

Answer

First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

  1. 2 2/7 = 16/7
  2. 1 1/4 = 5/4

Find a common denominator for the fractions, which is 28:

  1. 16/7 = 64/28
  2. 5/4 = 35/28

Add the fractions:

64/28 + 35/28 = 99/28

Convert back to a mixed number:

99/28 = 3 15/28

Simplify the fraction:

15/28 is already in its simplest form.

So, the answer is 3 15/28.
