What is 3 and five eighths plus 6 and one half?

Answer:10 1/8

10 1/8

Explanation:

3 + 5/8 + 6+1/2

pretend that 3 an 6 has a denominator which is 1

3/1 + 5/8+6/1 + 1/2

find the common denominator which is 8

multiply by 8 for 3/1 = (3) (8) / (1) (8) = 24/8

multiply by 8 for 6/1 = (6) (8) / (1) (8) = 48/8

multiply by 4 for 1/2 = (1) (4) / (2) (4) = 4/8

24/8+5/8 + 48/8+4/8

29/8+52/8

29+52 = 81

answer:

81/8 or 10 1/8
