$2+ \frac{3}{6}$

$3 + \frac{3}{6}$

$3+ \frac{5}{6}$

$4+ \frac{1}{6}$

Answer:

$2 \frac{3}{6}$ as the sum of a whole number and a fraction is equivalent to $2+ \frac{3}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mixed Fraction:  $2 \frac{3}{6}$

Required

Express as the sum of a whole number and fraction.

Given that $2 \frac{3}{6}$  is a mixed fraction; it can be converted to the sum of a whole number and a fraction by following the steps below.

1. Convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction

$2 \frac{3}{6} = \frac{(6 * 2 + 3)}{6}$

2. Split the numerator

$2 \frac{3}{6} = \frac{((6 * 2) + (3))}{6}$

3. Split fraction to 2

$2 \frac{3}{6} = \frac{(6 * 2)}{6} +\frac{(3)}{6}$

Simplify

$2 \frac{3}{6} = \frac{(12)}{6} +\frac{(3)}{6}$

$2 \frac{3}{6} = 2 + \frac{3}{6}$

Hence, $2 \frac{3}{6}$ as the sum of a whole number and a fraction is equivalent to $2+ \frac{3}{6}$
