Question

I need help on this one 5 1/2 + 4 1/3

Answer 1

9 and 5/6

Explanation:

We can start by adding 5 + 4 which equals 9

Then we add 1/2 to 1/3

Both these numbers can be changed to one with the same denominator

So, 1/2 = 3/6 and 1/3 = 2/6

= 3/6 + 2/6

= 5/6

Add 5/6 back to the 9 we got earlier, we get 9 5/6

Answer 2

9 5/6

Explanation:

Add the whole numbers and the fractions separately

(5 + 4) + (1/2 + 1/3)

Add

9 + 5/6

Write as a mixed number

9 5/6
