The Problem.
Mother bought kilograms of white sugar and kilograms of brown sugar. How many kilograms of sugar did she buy in all?
What is asked in the problem?
In the problem, we are tasked to find the total amount of kilograms of sugar mother bought.
What mathematical operation should be used in the problem?
Based on the question asked, since we need to find the TOTAL AMOUNT of kilograms of sugar mother bought, we need to use the operation of addition (+).
Write the number in sentence.
Three and a half kilograms of white sugar is added to one and a fourth (or quarter) kilograms of brown sugar.

What we need to do first is to convert the mixed fractions into improper. To do this, we multiply the whole number of one fraction to its denominator and adding that to the numerator. (i.e. 3 x 2 + 1)
Make sure to place the result in the numerator and copy the denominator.
Next, since both the numerators aren't alike, we need to find their GCF. The GCF of 2 and 4 is 4.
After that, we multiply the GCF to their respective denominators and multiply that result to their numerators. (The correct process is from GCF > numerator > denominator. Although the results will still be the same, this one is much more proper than this.)
Add the numerators and simplify if possible.

Nothing can be simplified further with this fraction, so we'll consider this as our final answer.
Thus, mother bought a total of kilograms of sugar.
the mix number you will add the mix number in solution number 1 and solution number 2 next add the numerator in solution 1 & 2 and then next multiply the denaminator so it will be 4 2/8
the 4 will be mix number the 2 will be numerator and the 8 is denaminator

Answer:
3 1/2 + 1 1/4=4 2/8
Step-by-step explanation:
the mix number you will add the mix number in solution number 1 and solution number 2 next add the numerator in solution 1 & 2 and then next multiply the denaminator so it will be 4 2/8
the 4 will be mix number the 2 will be numerator and the 8 is denaminator
