Solution:
1.) Add the given and simplify.
[tex] \frac{23}{25} + \frac{12}{25} = \frac{35}{25} \div 5 = 1\frac{2}{5} [/tex]
2.) Multiply the given and simplify.
[tex]2 \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{14}{3} = \frac{70}{6} \div 2 = 11 \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
3.) Divide the given and simplify.
[tex] \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{4}{1} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{16} [/tex]
4.) Add the given and simplify.
[tex] \frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{7} +1 = \frac{21}{28} + \frac{20}{28} + \frac{28}{28} = 2 \frac{13}{28} [/tex]
Hope it helps.
