Question

1 2/3 + 3 1/2= ?? 1 and 2 3rds plus 3 and 1 half equals what??

Answer 1

Answer:

5 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to get the same denominator on both of the fractions. So you would multiply 1 2/3 or you can change it into a improper fraction which is a fraction greater than 1. So that would be 5/3 times 2/2. Because you want to get the same denominator. That is 10/6. Then you make 3 1/2 a improper fraction which is 7/2 and multiply it by 3/3 to get 21/6. Next you would add them together and get 31/6 but you have to simplify, so you would divide 31 by 6 and get 5 1/6.

I know that's a lot but I hope it helps.
