Question

5 2/7+1 2/7 as a mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

Answer:

6 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

I personally break it down like this:

Is 2 greater than 7? No so that means the whole number would stay 5.

Same for the other number. Then add the whole numbers attached to the fraction. Which is 6. Then go to the fraction. 2/7 + 2/7 is 4/7. This cannot be simplified anyfurther.

Answer 2

Answer: $6\frac{4}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5\frac{2}{7}+1\frac{2}{7}$

Add the whole numbers 5 and 1

$5+1=6$

Add the fractions (Don't forget you only add the numerators, not the denominators. You leave the denominators the same.)

$\frac{2}{7}+\frac{2}{7}=\frac{4}{7}$

Combine the answers

$6+\frac{4}{7}\\\\=6\frac{4}{7}$

$5\frac{2}{7}+1\frac{2}{7}$  as a mixed number in the simplest form is $6\frac{4}{7}$
