Question

3=2 1/6 + ____ Please help or explain I’m confused!

Answer 1

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 5/6. To get this, ignore the 2 for now, and focus on 1/6. We want to make 1/6 a whole number, because 1 + 5 is 6 (if we make 1/6 a whole number it will be 1). So subtract 1 from 6, and you get 5. 5/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 or 1. Now you can bring the 2 back, and you have 3 = 2 1/6 + 5/6.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the blank as "x"

$3 = 2 \frac{1}{6} + x$

$= > x = 3 - 2 \frac{1}{6}$

$= > x = 3 - \frac{13}{6}$

$= > x = \frac{18 - 13}{6}$

$= > x = \frac{5}{6} (ans)$

Hence,

In the blank there will be 5/6
