Answer 1

`6 (1)/(14)`

Explanation:

Write down the problem;

`2 (4)/(7) + 3 (2)/(4)`

Simplify

`2 (4)/(7) + 3 (1)/(2)`

Convert so that the fractions have a common denominator; multiply the numerator and denominator of both fractions such that the denominators are equal;

`2 (8)/(14) + 3 (7)/(14)`

Add the fractions;

`5 (15)/(14)`

Convert to mixed number;

`6 (1)/(14)`
