Answer: 6 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add the whole numbers
3 2/3 + 2 1/2= 5 + 2/3 + 1/2
Step 2: Ignoring the whole number, add the fractions.
2/3+ 1/2
Find the LCM of 2 and 3, which is 6. Now make the denominators for both fractions 6, and multiply the numerators by whatever you multiply the denominator to get to 6.
You know that to get 3 to 6, you multiply by 2. So then you also have to multiply the neumerator for that fraction by 2 as well. 2x2= 4, so the new neumeraator is 4
Now for the next fraction. To get from 2 to six, you multiply by 3. So multiply the neumerator by 3. 1x3= 3 , so the new neumerator is 3.
4/6+ 3/6= 7/6
Step 3: Add & Simplify
5+7/6= 5+1 1/6= 6 1/6.
Hope this helps :)) Also brainliest would be appreciated , i worked pretty hard on this thanks!! :D
