We know that
3 2/4 -------------> is (3*4+2)/4--------> 14/4-------> 7/2
2 2/3 --------------> is (2*3+2)/3--------> 8/3
if a new washing machine used 7/2 gallons of water ------------> one full load <span>cloths
</span> X gallons of water------------------------------------------------------> 8/3 of load cloths<span>
X=(8/3)*(7/2)---------> X=56/6------->28/3 gallons of water
28/3--------> 9 1/3 gallons of water
the answer is
</span>9 1/3 gallons of water
Well, we just need to perform the operations:
- Multiplication:

- Subtraction:

- Addition:

- Division:

So, if you add all the numbers together you get

Or, if you prefer,

The sum of y+x, or 5+7, is rational. This is because each integer(non fraction/decimal)is rational, it is also rational.
