After a holiday dinner,
there are 3 1/3 apple pies left and 2 5/6 pumpkin pies left. How much total pie is left?

Answer 1

To find the total pies left,we can simply add up the amount left.

The solving steps would be:


`3 (1)/(3) + 2 (5)/(6) \\ = (10)/(3) + (17)/(6) \\ = (10 * 2)/(3 * 2) + (17)/(6) \\ = (37)/(6) \\ = 6 (1)/(6)`

Alternatively:


`3 (1)/(3) + 2 (5)/(6) \\ = 3 (1×2)/(3×2) + 2 (5)/(6) \\ = 3(2)/(6) + 2 (5)/(6) \\ = 5 (7)/(6) \\ = 6 (1)/(6)`

Therefore the answer is 6 1/6.

Hope it helps!
