Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Question asked by Mr.Maddox to find the sum of fractions with the help of number line :

    $\rightarrow 3 \frac{2}{3}+1 \frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{3}\\\\ \text{Using Associative Property}\\\\\rightarrow a+(b+c)=(b+c)+a\\\\\rightarrow [\frac{2}{3}+ 1\frac{3}{4}]+3 \frac{2}{3}\\\\\rightarrow [\frac{2}{3}+\frac{7}{4}]+\frac{11}{3}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{21+8}{12}+ \frac{11}{3}\\\\\rightarrow\frac{29+44}{12}\\\\ \rightarrow\frac{73}{12}\\\\\rightarrow 6\frac{1}{12}$
