Answer 1

6

Explanation:

Games played on Friday = 2 1/2

Games played on Saturday = 3 1/2

Total Games played = Games on Friday + Games on Saturday

=
`2(1)/(2)+3(1)/(2)`

These are mixed fractions. To covert them into 'normal fractions' there are two steps:

1. Multiple denominator by the whole number

2. add numerator to the product

`2(1)/(2) = (5)/(2) \\3(1)/(2) = (7)/(2) \\(5)/(2) + (7)/(2)`

now because denominator is the same, simply add the numerators so the answer is
`(12)/(2) \\=6`
