Question
served a total of 6/10 of a loaf of wheat bread and 3 4/5 any loaves were served in all? fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
Step1: Identify the fractions to add
We have two amounts: $\frac{6}{10}$ and $3\frac{4}{5}$. First, we need to make the denominators the same. Let's convert $3\frac{4}{5}$ to an improper fraction or adjust the fraction part to have a denominator of 10.
$3\frac{4}{5}=3+\frac{4}{5}$, and $\frac{4}{5}=\frac{4\times2}{5\times2}=\frac{8}{10}$. So $3\frac{4}{5}=3\frac{8}{10}$.
Step2: Add the fractions
Now we add $\frac{6}{10}$ and $3\frac{8}{10}$.
Adding the fraction parts: $\frac{6}{10}+\frac{8}{10}=\frac{14}{10}=\frac{7}{5}=1\frac{2}{5}$.
Then add the whole number part: $3 + 1\frac{2}{5}=4\frac{2}{5}$.
We can also do it by converting both to improper fractions:
$\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{5}$, $3\frac{4}{5}=\frac{3\times5 + 4}{5}=\frac{19}{5}$.
Then $\frac{3}{5}+\frac{19}{5}=\frac{22}{5}=4\frac{2}{5}$.
