Question

Hi, I need some help!!!!

Answer 1

23/2

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions

5 1/3 + 6// i 1/6 becomes

16/3 + 37/6

Now use the common denominator of 6 to change the first fraction so it has a denominator of 6...

(16/3)(2/2) + 37/6

32/6 + 37/6

Now add the numerators...

69/6 both are multiples of 3, so reduce the fraction....

22/3 (69/3 = 22 9/3 = 3 )

Answer 2

11 1/2

Explanation:

To add fractions they must share common denominators. Multiply the 1/3 by 2/2 to make its denominator become a 6.

• 1/3 * 2/2 = 2/6

Now you can freely add 5 2/6 and 6 1/6 together. Add the numerators and keep the denominators the same.

• 5 2/6 + 6 1/6 = 11 3/6

The 3/6 can be simplified to 1/2 by dividing 3/6 by 3/3.

The final answer is 11 1/2.
