3 3/4 + 3 5/6 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First change the mixed fractions to improper fractions:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3 3/4 = 15/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3 5/6 = 23/6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To add these two improper fractions we need a common denominator. The smallest common denominator is 12 so we need to convert each from fourths and sixths to twelths:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "15/4 = (15*3)/(4*3) = 45/12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "26/6 = (26*2)/(6*2) = 52/12 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we can add these:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "45/12 + 52/12 = 97/12 = 8 1/12 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
