Adrian juices some oranges and apples. He got 234234 glasses of orange juice and 458458 glasses of apple juice. How many glasses of juice did he get altogether?
A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction.
First, list down the values stated in the problem
Orange Juice
==
312312
Apple Juice
==
458458
Add these 22 fractions to get the total number of glasses Adrian juiced.
First, add the whole numbers

==
66
Now add the fractions
Since 88 is a multiple of 44, 88 is the LCDLCD
3434++5858
==
3×24×2+583×24×2+58
Multiply by 22 so that the denominator becomes 88
==
68+5868+58
Add the numerators
==
118118
Keep the same denominator
Transform the fraction back to a mixed fraction
Start by dividing the numerator by the denominator
Arrange the numbers for long division
88 goes into 1111 once. So write 11 above the line.
Multiply 11 to 88 and write the answer below 1111
Subtract 88 from 1111 and write the answer one line below
Since 88 cannot go into 33 anymore, 33 is left as the Remainder and 11 is the Quotient
Substitute values into the given formula

118118
==
138138
Finally, add the two sums (whole number and mixed fraction).
6+1386+138
