Question

What do you add to 2 5/8 to make it 6 ?

Answer 1

6 or 5 6/6 - 2 5/8 = 3 3/8

Hope it helps! :D

Answer 2

To solve this, I first converted 2 5/8 into an improper fraction (2 × 8 = 16, 16 + 5 = 21) and got 21/8.
Next, you need to find the number that, when divided by 8, equals 6, and you can do this simply by multiplying 8 and 6 together to get 48.
We only have 21, so we next do 48 - 21 = 27.

Now we know that our answer is 27/8, but if you would like it as a mixed number then you just do 27 ÷ 8 = 3 (remainder 3), so as a mixed number your answer is 3 3/8.

I hope this helps!
