Question

(X-8 5/8)+4 13/24=7 3/32

Answer 1

$(x-8\frac{5}{8})+4\frac{13}{24}=7\frac{3}{32}\\x-8\frac{5}{8}+4\frac{13}{24}=7\frac{3}{32}\\x-\frac{49}{12}=\frac{227}{32}\\x=\frac{227}{32}+\frac{49}{12}\\x=\frac{1073}{96}\\x=11\frac{17}{96}$

Answer 2

To add mixed numbers, you need to add the whole numbers separately and the fractions separately. Then, combine the results.

Let's break down the addition of the mixed numbers step by step:

Step 1: Add the whole numbers. 8 + 4 = 12

Step 2: Add the fractions. 5/8 + 13/24 = (5/8 * 3/3) + 13/24 = 15/24 + 13/24 = 28/24

Step 3: Simplify the fraction (if possible). 28/24 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. 28/24 = (28/4)/(24/4) = 7/6

Step 4: Combine the whole numbers and fractions. 12 + 7/6 = 12 + (1 + 1/6) = 13 + 1/6 = 13 1/6

Therefore, the sum of (X-8 5/8) + 4 13/24 is 13 1/6.
