Convert each to an improper fraction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "22/5, 43/8, 11/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Get common denominator of 40.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "176/40 , 215/40, 220/40\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"176%2F40+%2B+215%2F40+%2B+220%2F40+=+611%2F40\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Convert back to a mixed fraction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "611 divided by 40 gives 15 with a remainder of 11.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the final answer is $\"15\"$ $\"11%2F40\"$ \r
