Solution

To solve this addition of fractions we are gonna apply the fraction rule which is;

a/c + b/c = (a + b)/c

2/11 + 1/11 = (2 + 1)/11


= (2 + 1)/11 + 2/7

Now add the numerators 2 + 1

= (2 + 1)/11 + 2/7

= 3/11 + 2/7

Now we find the least common multiple

The least common multiple of 11 and 7 is 77.

But before that we cross multiply the numerators.

3 * 7 = 21
2 * 11 = 22

Now the ajustes fraction is;

21/77 + 22/77


Apply the fraction rule which is;

a/c + b/c = (a + b)/c

= (21 + 22)/77

Now we add the numerators.

43/77

Therefore the answer in fraction is 43/77 and in decimal form it is 0.55841
