Answer:
1) 22
2) ⅞
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding the Sum
1) To find the answer to the equation, just add the numbers.
7 + 15 = 22
2) The fractions are dissimilar. Dissimilar fractions refer to the fractions with different denominators. To find the sum of dissimilar fractions, you have to find their least common denominator first. Then, divide their least common denominator by the denominator times the numerator.
⅜ + ½ (L C D: 8)
⅜ = 8 ÷ 8 × 3 = 3 = ⅜
½ = 8 ÷ 2 × 1 = 4 = 4⁄8
⅜ + 4⁄8 = ⅞
