Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]3\frac{1}{6}[/tex] + [tex]5\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
When adding two fractions, both denominators must be the same
To do this, multiply [tex]3\frac{1}{6}[/tex] by 4 to make it into [tex]3\frac{4}{24}[/tex]
And multiply [tex]5\frac{7}{8}[/tex] by 3 to turn it into [tex]5\frac{21}{24}[/tex]
The new equation is:
[tex]3\frac{4}{24}[/tex] + [tex]5\frac{21}{24}[/tex] = 8[tex]\frac{25}{24}[/tex]
Since you can make a whole number from [tex]\frac{25}{24}[/tex], the number 8 becomes a 9
and the new answers becomes [tex]9\frac{1}{24}[/tex]
