Question

Add and Simplify 14/3+5/6

Answer 1

first, to add fractions, we need both with the same denominator. to change it we can multiply or divide the numerator and the denominator of a fraction.

in this case for example we can multiply each part of the fraction 14/3 by 2

$\frac{14\cdot2}{3\cdot2}=\frac{28}{6}$

and now we can add

$\frac{28}{6}+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{33}{6}$

and finally, we can simplify dividing 33 and 6 by 3

$\frac{\frac{33}{3}}{\frac{6}{3}}=\frac{11}{2}$

So the answer is: 11/2
