Step-by-step explanation:

first you add 8 to 4 which is 12

so the improper fraction would be 51/12

how to turn it in to a mixed number in simplest form

step 1 - Find Whole Number

Calculate out how many times the denominator goes into the numerator. To do that, divide 51 by 12 and keep only what is to the left of the decimal point:

51 / 12 = 4.2500 = 4

Step 2 - Find New Numerator

Multiply the answer from Step 1 by the denominator and deduct that from the original numerator.

51 - (12 x 4) = 3

Step 3 - Put Together

Keep the original denominator and use the answers from Step 1 and Step 2 to get this:

4  

   3  

   12  

Step 4 - Minimize

Minimize the fraction part from Step 3 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3, which is the greatest common factor, to get the final answer. 51/12 as a Mixed Number is:
