Answer:
6 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a quick look at those fractions. The LCD here is 8. We'll leave 4 5/8 as is, but change 2 1/4 to 2 2/8.
Now we'll add together:
4 5/8
+ 2 2/8
-----------
6 7/8
[tex]6 \frac{7}{8}.[/tex]
The easiest way to solve this problem is to sum the whole number and the fractions separately.
[tex]4\frac{5}{8} + 2\frac{1}{4}\\\\4\frac{5}{8} + 2 \frac{1}{4}(\frac{2}{2})\\\\4\frac{5}{8} + 2\frac{2}{8}[/tex]
Solving the sum:
[tex]4\frac{5}{8} + 2\frac{2}{8} = 6 \frac{7}{8}[/tex]
