Question

What is 1 1/3 + 5 1/6

Answer 1

8 5/6

Explanation:

11/3 + 5 1/6

change 5 1/6 into improper fraction (5 x 6 + 1) = 31/6

11/3 + 31/6

Now find common denominator which is 6

3 goes into 6 two times therefore, 2 x 3 = 6 & 2 x 11 = 22

22/6 + 31/6 = 53/6

Now change back to proper fraction. How many times does 6 go into 53?

53/6 = 8 with 5 left over = 5 5/6

Hope this helps!
