Answer:
11/6 or decimal 1.8333... + 4.9 = 6.733333....
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
(3 + 2/3)/2
Express 4/6 in its lowest form by cancelling out gcd(4, 6) = 2 from the numerator and denominator. 4/6 = (2×2)/(2×3) = 2/3:
(2/3 + 3)/2
Put 3 + 2/3 over the common denominator 3. 3 + 2/3 = (3×3)/3 + 2/3:
((3×3)/3 + 2/3)/2
3×3 = 9:
(9/3 + 2/3)/2
9/3 + 2/3 = (9 + 2)/3:
((9 + 2)/3)/2
9 + 2 = 11:
(11/3)/2
11/3×1/2 = 11/(3×2):
11/(3×2)
3×2 = 6:
