Answer: 5 2/6
Step-by-step explanation: 3 5/6 + 1 3/6 = 5 2/6 because you need to add the pie wholes,(3 + 1) and then you have the fractions, 5/6 + 3/6. So since all you need to make another whole is 1/6 you take it away from 3/6 and give it to 5/6 so now you have another whole. 4 wholes plus 1 new whole is 5 wholes. Since you took 1/6 away from 3/6 you now have 2/6. So 5 wholes and 2/6 were sold.
3 5/6 + 1 3/6 =
3 + 1= = 4
5/6 + 1/6 = 1
3/6 - 1/6 = 2/6
4 + 1 = 5
5 + 2/6 = 5 2/6
Look at deonomators
assuming that the deonomenators are 5x+15y and 2x+6y
find their LCM
factor
5x+15y=5(x+3y)
2x+6y=2(x+3y)
LCM=10(x+3y)=10x+30y
multiply 2/(5x+15y) by 2/2=4/(10x+30y)
multiply 1/(2x+6y) by 5/5=5/(10x+30y)
if we add them
9/(10x+30y)
5:4 i’m not quite sure but i think it would be 5:4
