Answer:

11/6 or decimal 1.8333... + 4.9 = 6.733333....

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

(3 + 2/3)/2

Express 4/6 in its lowest form by cancelling out gcd(4, 6) = 2 from the numerator and denominator. 4/6 = (2×2)/(2×3) = 2/3:

(2/3 + 3)/2

Put 3 + 2/3 over the common denominator 3. 3 + 2/3 = (3×3)/3 + 2/3:

((3×3)/3 + 2/3)/2

3×3 = 9:

(9/3 + 2/3)/2

9/3 + 2/3 = (9 + 2)/3:

((9 + 2)/3)/2

9 + 2 = 11:

(11/3)/2

11/3×1/2 = 11/(3×2):

11/(3×2)

3×2 = 6:
