Question

A. Convert 2 1/4 to a decimal and add 0.15

B. Convert 6.5 to a mixed number and add 5/6

Answer 1

2 1/4= 2.25 because you divide 1 by 4 to get .25 and 2 is a whole number

then just add and make sure the decimals are lined up: 2.25+0.15=2.40

b. 6.5 is equal to 6 1/2 to add you need to get common denominators so make 1/2 3/6 because then you will have common denominators and now just add: 6 3/6 + 5/6=6 8/6

finally you simplify the fraction because it is not: 8/6=1 2/6 simplify again and add=

1 1/3 +6=7 1/3

Answer 2

`\sf 2 (1)/(4)= (2*4+1)/(4)= (9)/(4)=2,25 \\ \\ 2,25+0,15=\boxed{\sf 2,40} \\ \\ \\ \\ 6,5= (65)/(10)^((5)= (13)/(2) \\ \\ ^(3))(13)/(2)+ (5)/(6)= (39+5)/(6)= (44)/(6)= \boxed{\sf 7,(3)}`
