Answer 1

Answer:

2 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of 2 ⅓ and 3 ½ is 2 ‌11⁄12‌. To find the average, find the sum of the fractions and divide by 2.

2 ⅓ + 3 ½ = ‌7⁄3‌ + ‌7⁄2 = ‌14⁄6 + ‌21⁄6 = ‌35⁄6 or 5 5⁄6

5 5⁄6 ÷ 2 = 35⁄6 × 1⁄2 = 35⁄12 or 2 11⁄12

Answer 2

ANS

The average of 2⅓ and 3½ is 2 11/12

2⅓ + 3½ = 7/3 + 7/2 = 14/6 + 21/6 = 35/6 or 5/6

Add the given values.

Divide the sum by the count of values.

Equation:

(2 1/3 + 3 1/2) / 2 = ?

Solution:

(2 1/3 + 3 1/2) / 2 = ?

* Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

= (7/3 + 7/2) / 2

* Add the fractions. Find the LCD.

= (14/6 + 21/6) / 2

= ( 35/6 ) /2

To divide change the sign to multiplication, The give the reciprocal of the second fraction

= 35/6 × 1/2

= 35/12 or 2 11/12
