Answer 2

Improper Fraction: 5/3

Mixed Number: 1 2/3

Explanation:

Convert all the numbers into the same denominator. The denominator should be the least common denominator. 3, 2, and 6 are all multiples of 6, therefore 6 is the least common denominator.

1/2 = 3/6

5/6 = 5/6

1/3 = 2/6

3/6 + 5/6 + 2/6 = 10/6

You should always simplify your answer. 10/6 simplifies to 5/3

As an improper fraction, the answer is 5/3 and as a mixed number, the answer is 1 2/3.
