Question

2 3/6 boxes and 1 2/3 boxes were recycled what is the total

Answer 1

Since you are recycling the boxes you will be subtracting 2 3/6 and 1 2/3 since you’re a denominators you’re not mad she have to find a common denominator which would be six. So you have to do 2/2 x 2/3 = 4/6. So then you would do 3/6 - 4/6 = 1/6. Then you would subtract 1-2=1. Then you would do 1 + 1/6 = 1 1/6

So the answer is 1 1/6.
