(boxes with? and fractions below, omitted as per ocr text rules)

Explanation:

Step1: Add mixed numbers H

$5\frac{7}{10} + 7\frac{5}{10} = (5+7) + \frac{7+5}{10} = 12 + \frac{12}{10} = 12 + 1\frac{2}{10} = 13\frac{2}{10}$

Step2: Add mixed numbers A

$5\frac{3}{8} + 4\frac{5}{8} = (5+4) + \frac{3+5}{8} = 9 + \frac{8}{8} = 9 + 1 = 10$

Step3: Subtract mixed numbers C

$8\frac{3}{8} - 4\frac{7}{8} = 7\frac{11}{8} - 4\frac{7}{8} = (7-4) + \frac{11-7}{8} = 3 + \frac{4}{8} = 3\frac{4}{8}$

Step4: Subtract mixed numbers U

$8\frac{2}{6} - 2\frac{5}{6} = 7\frac{8}{6} - 2\frac{5}{6} = (7-2) + \frac{8-5}{6} = 5 + \frac{3}{6} = 5\frac{3}{6}$

Step5: Subtract mixed numbers Y

$6\frac{2}{10} - 4\frac{4}{10} = 5\frac{12}{10} - 4\frac{4}{10} = (5-4) + \frac{12-4}{10} = 1 + \frac{8}{10} = 1\frac{8}{10}$

Step6: Add mixed numbers E

$3\frac{7}{9} + 8\frac{8}{9} = (3+8) + \frac{7+8}{9} = 11 + \frac{15}{9} = 11 + 1\frac{6}{9} = 12\frac{6}{9}$

Step7: Add mixed numbers N

$2\frac{9}{10} + 8\frac{1}{10} = (2+8) + \frac{9+1}{10} = 10 + \frac{10}{10} = 10 + 1 = 11$

Step8: Add mixed numbers I

$2\frac{2}{3} + 8\frac{2}{3} = (2+8) + \frac{2+2}{3} = 10 + \frac{4}{3} = 10 + 1\frac{1}{3} = 11\frac{1}{3}$

Step9: Subtract mixed numbers S

$5\frac{1}{4} - 3\frac{3}{4} = 4\frac{5}{4} - 3\frac{3}{4} = (4-3) + \frac{5-3}{4} = 1 + \frac{2}{4} = 1\frac{2}{4}$

Step10: Subtract mixed numbers B

$9\frac{4}{9} - 4\frac{7}{9} = 8\frac{13}{9} - 4\frac{7}{9} = (8-4) + \frac{13-7}{9} = 4 + \frac{6}{9} = 4\frac{6}{9}$

Step11: Add mixed numbers T

$5\frac{3}{4} + 4\frac{2}{4} = (5+4) + \frac{3+2}{4} = 9 + \frac{5}{4} = 9 + 1\frac{1}{4} = 10\frac{1}{4}$

Answer:

Match each result to the corresponding box:

• $4\frac{6}{9}$ → B
• $12\frac{6}{9}$ → E
• $3\frac{4}{8}$ → C
• $10$ → A
• $5\frac{3}{6}$ → U
• $1\frac{2}{4}$ → S
• $12\frac{6}{9}$ → E
• $10\frac{1}{4}$ → T
• $13\frac{2}{10}$ → H
• $1\frac{8}{10}$ → Y
• $12\frac{6}{9}$ → E
• $3\frac{4}{8}$ → C
• $10$ → A
• $10\frac{1}{4}$ → T
• $11$ → N
• $11\frac{1}{3}$ → I
• $10\frac{1}{4}$ → T
