Q. Complete the equation. Write the sum as a mixed number.\newline75+38=40+40= \frac{7}{5}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{\square}{40}+\frac{\square}{40}=\square \frac{\square}{\square}
  1. Find common denominator: Step 11: Find a common denominator for the fractions 75\frac{7}{5} and 38\frac{3}{8}. Since the denominators are 55 and 88, the least common denominator (LCD) is 4040.
  2. Convert fractions to LCD: Step 22: Convert each fraction to have the denominator of 4040. \newline75=(7×85×8)=5640\frac{7}{5} = \left(\frac{7\times8}{5\times8}\right) = \frac{56}{40}\newline38=(3×58×5)=1540\frac{3}{8} = \left(\frac{3\times5}{8\times5}\right) = \frac{15}{40}
  3. Add fractions: Step 33: Add the two fractions. 5640+1540=7140\frac{56}{40} + \frac{15}{40} = \frac{71}{40}
  4. Convert to mixed number: Step 44: Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number. 7140=13140\frac{71}{40} = 1 \frac{31}{40}
