Answer :
Final answer:
The sum of the numbers 447 and one half, 173 and three eights (twice), and 232 and three eights (twice) is 1259.
Explanation:
The question is asking to perform addition of several numbers, including fractions and mixed numbers. The process will involve adding whole numbers separately from the fractional parts and then combining the total sum from both.
First, let's add the whole numbers:
447 + 173 + 173 + 232 + 232 = 1257
Now, let's add the fractional parts:
1/2 + 3/8 + 3/8 + 3/8 + 3/8 = 1/2 + 12/8
= 1/2 + 1 4/8
= 1/2 + 1 1/2 = 2
Finally, we add the sum of the whole numbers to the sum of the fractional parts:
1257 + 2 = 1259
The total sum is then 1259.
