Answer 1

Answer:

6.75 or 6 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First take the whole number and multiply that by 3.

2*3=6

Now, take the fraction and multiply that times 3.

1/4 as a decimal is 0.25. You can ignore the decimal point right now, but you have to remember it is there later.

So, whithout the decimal point, 25*3= 75.

Now, you add the decimal. The 75 is now 0.75, with the decimal.

Add the whole number and the decimal, and you have your answer!

6+0.75=6.75. As a fraction this is 6 3/4
