Question

What is the sum of 2 2/3 and 1 5/6?

Answer 1

First make each fraction into an improper fraction

2 2/3 = 8/3
1 5/6 = 11/6

Next, make the fractions have same denominators. Note, that what you do to the denominator, you do to the numerator.

8/3(2/2) = 16/6

Add
16/6 + 11/6 = 27/6

27/6 = 4 3/6 = 4 1/2

4 1/2 is your simplified answer
