Answer: 3, 11
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is asking for two answers: what goes in 3 [tex]\frac{?}{12}[/tex] and what goes in 4 [tex]\frac{?}{12}[/tex].
Part 1:
For our first fraction, we need to figure out how we can convert 1/4 into having a denominator of 12. Since 4 multiplied by 3 is 12, we will also have to multiply the numerator of 1 by 3:
1 x 3 = 3
So, the fraction should be:
3 [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex]
Our numerator is 3.
Part 2:
The second part of this question is asking us to add both mixed numbers 1 [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and 3 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] together. We cannot add them together since they don't have common denominators. However, we have converted them to both have a denominator of 12, so we can add those together:
1 [tex]\frac{8}{12}[/tex] + 3 [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex] = 4 [tex]\frac{11}{12}[/tex]
Our numerator for the third fraction is 11.
