To solve this problem of adding mixed numbers, follow these well-defined steps:
- Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- Step 2: Find the least common denominator (LCD).
- Step 3: Convert each fraction to have the LCD as the denominator.
- Step 4: Sum the fractions, and finally, convert back to a mixed number if necessary.
Let us apply these steps to the given numbers:
Step 1: Convert to improper fractions:
- 452=522
- 1103=1013
- 2201=2041
- 253=513
Step 2: Find the least common denominator: The denominators are 5, 10, and 20. The LCD of these is 20.
Step 3: Convert fractions to have this LCD:
- 522=2088
- 1013=2026
- 2041 remains 2041
- 513=2052
Step 4: Add the fractions:
2088+2026+2041+2052=20207
Convert 20207 into a mixed number:
207÷20=10 remainder 7, so we have 10207.
Therefore, the sum of the mixed numbers 452+1103+2201+253 is 10207.
