Hi there !

1 1/2 + 3 7/8 =

= (1×2+1)/2 + (3×8+7)/8

= ⁴⁾3/2 + 31/8

= 12/8 + 31/8

= (12 + 31)/8

= 43/8

= 5 3/8

Good luck !

true statements:

a) x + y = y + x   ⇒ commutative property of addition

b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication

d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

false statements:

c) x - y = y - x   should be: x - y = - y + x

e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)
