The first step here would be to write an equation for this problem.
4 [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] + 3 [tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex] = ?
Now that we have our equation, we can solve it. But rather than converting both the mixed fractions into improper fractions, there is a simpler way we can solve.
We can separate the equation into two simple equations. Which will be adding both the whole numbers and then both the fractions
4 + 3 = ?
[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] + [tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex] = ?
Now we solve.
4 + 3 = 7
[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] + [tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{4}{4} [/tex]
Now that we solved both our separate equations we can get our final answer by combining both answers.
7 [tex] \frac{4}{4} [/tex]
Notice how our answer can be simplified because when both the numerator and denominator are the same, they equal one whole.
After converting [tex] \frac{4}{4} [/tex] to one whole we will get our final, simplified answer.
7 [tex] \frac{4}{4} [/tex] = 8
So both Sarah and Nathan picked 8 buckets of strawberries.
