Answer:
3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Count the number of 'x' symbols are above each number.
There are:
two 1/6 pieces (total of 2/6)
two 1/3 pieces (total 2/3)
three 1/2 pieces (total 3/2 aka 1 and 1/2)
four 2/3 pieces (total 8/3 aka 2 and 2/3)
one 5/6 piece (total 5/6)
Since we know that halves and thirds can be divided into sixths, we'll have to set all the denominators into sixths by multiplying. The numbers are in the same order as above.
2/6 * 1/1 = 2/6
2/3 * 2/2 = 4/6
1 and 1/2 * 3/3 = 1 and 3/6 (only multiply the fraction if it is a fraction and a whole)
2 and 2/3 * 2/2 = 2 and 4/6
5/6 * 1/1 = 5/6
Next we'll add together all the WHOLE numbers.
1 + 2 = 3
Now add all the fractions. Remember, only add the numerators, the denominator stays the same in adding.
2/6 + 4/6 + 3/6 + 4/6 + 5/6 = 18/6
Simplify the fraction.
18/6 = 3.
