#=9 13/30#

You can either work with the whole numbers separately, or change each fraction into an improper fraction.

Let's work with the whole numbers - the numbers are smaller.

#4 3/5 +4 5/6" "larr# add the whole numbers

#=8 (?+?)/30" "larr# find the Lowest common denominator

#=8 (3xx6 +5xx5)/30" "larr# make equivalent fractions

#= 8 (18+25)/30 = 8 43/30" "larr# change #43/30# to a mixed number

#= 8+1 13/30#

#=9 13/30#
