<span>83 as a sum of 8 tens and 3 ones
.....................................</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
2 2/3
=><em>If</em> 8/3 = 1/6
x =1
1/6x = 8/3 ( Divide both sides by <em>1</em><em>/</em><em>6</em><em> </em>)
___ ___
1/6 1/6
(By cross-multiplying the numerators and denominators)
=> 1×6 8×6
___ x = ___
6×1 3×1
Cancelling out , we have
x = 8×2
____ = 8×2 = 16
1 × 1
<em>The</em><em> </em><em>final</em><em> </em><em>answer</em><em> </em><em>becomes</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>6</em>

Answer:
She swam a total distance of 2 1/4 miles in those three days.
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so- The first thing you need to do is make all denominators equal to make these fractions able to be added together. So, I made all denominators 12. (Tell me if you don't know how to make them all the same denominator, and I'll be happy to help!)
<u>2/3 = 8/12 </u>
<u>3/4 = 9/12 </u>
<u>5/6 = 10/12</u>
Then, I added the numerators together. Like this:
<u>8 + 9 + 10 = 27 </u>
So, this would be:
<u>27/12</u>
Lastly, I changed this improper fraction to a mixed number. I multiplied the denominator twice because it looked like it would be closest to 27 without going over.
<u>12 * 2 = 24 </u>
<em>The "2" will be the whole number in the mixed fraction.</em> Now, I'm going to subtract 24 from the numerator.
<u>27 - 24 = 3 </u>
<u>2 3/12</u>
After simplified, the fraction will be:
2 1/4
