Q. Complete the equation. Write the sum as a mixed number.\newline223+45=40+12= 2 \frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{5}=\frac{40}{\square}+\frac{12}{\square}=\square \frac{\square}{\square}
  1. Convert to Improper Fraction: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:\newline2(23)=(2×3+2)/3=832\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) = \left(2\times 3 + 2\right)/3 = \frac{8}{3}
  2. Find Common Denominator: Find a common denominator for 83\frac{8}{3} and 45\frac{4}{5}:\newlineThe least common denominator (LCD) of 33 and 55 is 1515.
  3. Convert to Common Denominator: Convert each fraction to have the common denominator:\newline83=(8×5)(3×5)=4015\frac{8}{3} = \frac{(8\times5)}{(3\times5)} = \frac{40}{15}\newline45=(4×3)(5×3)=1215\frac{4}{5} = \frac{(4\times3)}{(5\times3)} = \frac{12}{15}
  4. Add Fractions: Add the fractions:\newline4015+1215=40+1215=5215\frac{40}{15} + \frac{12}{15} = \frac{40 + 12}{15} = \frac{52}{15}
  5. Convert to Mixed Number: Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number: 5215=3\frac{52}{15} = 3 remainder 77, so it's 3(715)3\left(\frac{7}{15}\right)
