Question

Write 5 2/3+2 1/5 as a mixed number

Answer 1

Answer: 7 13/15

Explanation:

First of, you have to get your common denominator, as it's impossible without one.

The closest common denominator is 15, and it will ask you for a simplified version.

Multiply the 2/3 in 5 2/3 by 5 on both sides to get 5 10/15

Multiply the 1/5 in 2 1/5 by 3 on both sides to get 2 3/15

Then add up your sum.

5 10/15+2 3/15=7 13/15

Answer 2

7 13/15

Explanation:

5 2/3+2 1/5

We need to get a common denominator for the fraction

3*5 = 15

2/3 *5/5 = 10/15

1/5 * 3/3 = 3/15

5 10/15 + 2 3/15 = 7 13/15
