+130511 45 1/5 , 126 3/4 , and 88 3/8
Let's forget the whole numbers and just concentrate on adding 1/5 + 3/4 + 3/8
The common denominator is 40, so the fractions become 8/40 + 30/40 + 15/40....and adding all these together gives us 53/40 = 1 + 13/40
And adding back the whole numbers, we get ( 45 + 126 + 88) + (1 + 13/40) = 260 +13/40
