    First you have to make the mixed number a fraction and then make denominators all the same. Do you know how to do that?

    So I think it is 11 3/11, 45/4, then 79/7. Correct?

    Nope. Did you change them all to the lowest common denominator?

    P.S. With math, you don't "think" anything, no guessing. It's right or wrong.
