Calculation:
Given 559+379
Writing the mixed numbers as improper functions,
559+379=9(5)+59+9(3)+59
559+379=45+59+27+59
559+379=509+329
To add or subtract rational numbers the denominators need to be equal.
When the denominators are equal, the numerators can be added or subtracted as per the operation.
Hence, 559+379=50+329
559+379=829
To convert the improper fraction to mixed fraction, the numerator is written as sum of a multiple of denominator and the remainder.
559+379=81+19
559+379=819+19
559+379=9+19
559+379=919
Therefore, 559+379=919.
