Did you use the least common denominator? Explain.
Explanation:
The sum of mixed numbers with unequal denominators  can use a common denominator.

Question 1.
Because, the sum of two mixed numbers is solved and it is proved

Question 2.
What other common denominator could you have used?
multiply 5 x 10 = 50

Example

Subtract. 4$$\frac{5}{6}$$ – 2$$\frac{3}{4}$$

You can also use a common denominator to find the difference of mixed numbers with unequal denominators.
STEP 1: Estimate the difference.

STEP 2: Find a common denominator. Use the common denominator to write equivalent fractions with equal denominators.
