4 3/4 + 2 5/6 how do I solve this

Wow ... interesting way of doing it. Guess i donit the old way:

4 3/4 + 2 5/6

4x4+3=19/4

2x6+5=17/6

Change both denominators to 12 and multiply top by hoe many times the denominator goes into the LCD

57/12 + 34/12 = 91/12

12 goes into 91

7times with a remainder of 7/12

So 7 7/12

Your way is WAY faster and easier

Make the denominators equal

4 9/12 + 2 10/12

Add the fractions

6 19/12

Simplify

7 7/12
