Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The bar above the 3 in the 2.3 means that the 3 repeats indefinitely and the number is really 2.333333...which can also be 2 1/3 since 0.33333 = 1/3.

3 2/3 + 2 1/3

1/3 and 2/3 make 1

3 and 2 make 5

1 + 5 = 6

Adding together we get 6, so that is your answer.

I'm always happy to help :)

Comment on the repeating decimal

1/3 = 0.3333... repeating is one of the first decimal equivalents you learn.

If you're into repeating decimals. you may have learned how to convert them to fractions:

  x = 0.3333... repeating . . . . . . . give a name to the value

  10x = 3.3333... repeating . . . . . multiply by 10^p where p is the number of digits in the repeating pattern

  10x - x = 3.3333... - 0.3333... = 3 . . . . . subtract: the repeating portions cancel

  9x = 3 . . . . . . . . . .simplify

  x = 3/9 = 1/3 . . . . .divide by the x-coefficient; simplify
