HOW TO ADD 5 5\6+2 2\3 =
dybincka [34]

Answer: 8.50

Step-by-step explanation: I like to turn fractions into deciamls.

5/6 = .83  (I get 0.83 by 5 divided by 6)

2/3 = .66  (I also got 0.66 by 2 divided by 3)

.8333 + .66 = 149 = 1.49333

5 + 2 = 7 + 1.49 = 8.49

Now round up 8.49333 and you'll get 8.50 or 8 ¹/²

Let me know if I'm wrong, have a good day!
