D)
25/12

Answer 1

the answer is 14/6 but i don't see why it isnt simplified to 7/3

Answer 2

Hey there!


`1(5)/(6) = (11)/(6) \\ \\ (1)/(2) = (1)/(2)`

Now, Problem becomes:
`(11)/(6) + (1)/(2)`

Solving..................


`(11)/(6) + (1(3))/(2(3))`


`1(3) = 3 \\ 2(3) =6`


`(11)/(6) + (3)/(6)`


`(11+3)/(6)`


`11 +3 = 14`


`(14)/(6)`


`Answer (7)/(3) = 2 (1)/(3)`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
