+5

U can write 4 as 4/1 because 4/1 = 4

But since u got a mixed number with different dividents you have to get the same dividents.

The one from 4/5 is 5 and the one from 4/1 is 1.

SInce you have 4/1 you have to take both times 5 to get it to the same divident.

So 4/1 becomes 20/5.

20/5+ 4/5 is 24/5

24/5 is then 4.8

 

Other way around:

 

U take 4/5 and add it up to the 4

 

4/5= 0.8

4+ 0.8 = 4.8
