Question

Evaluate |2 5/6 + y for y = 7/4
O A. 2 2/5
O B. 3 1/5
O C. 3 4/5
O D. 4 8/12

Answer 1

D) 4 8/12

Explanation:

To first start this, let's make 2 5/6 an in-proper fraction by adding 12 and removing the whole 2. =17/6. Then let's get a common denominator by multiplying both the denominators by each other...6x4 and 4x6, but we also multiply the numerators by the same thing that the denominators are getting multiplied by... 17x4 and 7x6. We will then get 68/24 and 42/24. And then we can add both numerators with eachother and keep the denominator to get, 110/24... and making this into a propor fraction would equal 4 16/24... and dividing by 2 would equal 4 8/12
