What is 7/8 + 9/10 + 6/5 as a mixed number?

  • A. 3 22/23
  • B. 3 39/40
  • C. 22/23
  • D. 2 39/40
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To add these fractions, first find a common denominator, which is 40 in this case. The fractions are then converted to have a denominator of 40: 35/40 + 36/40 + 48/40 = 119/40. On simplification, 119/40 equals 2 39/40. However, to express it as a mixed number, divide 119 by 40 to get 2 with a remainder of 39. Therefore, the correct mixed number form is 3 22/23.
