Use these properties to rewrite 7/4 + 1/2 + 5/3 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/2 in a way that makes the addition easier. Explain how your changes simplify the addition class=

Answer :

It makes the addition easier if you combine like terms like the two 1/2s and then make them all have the denominator of 12 (changing the numerators to equal it out)

Answer:

1 + 3 5/12 + 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The changes simplify the addition by  making the equation shorter and easier to understand and solve. (I am sure you could add the 3 5/12 + 7/12 to make it even shorter but I decided not to) Hope this helps!
