Answer 1

See explanations below

Explanation:

1)2 2/3 + 3 2/3

Convert to improper fraction

= 8/3 + 11/3

= (8+11)/3

= 19/3

= 6 1/3

hence the sum as mixed fraction is 6 1/3

2) 9 3/6 + 2 2/6

= 57/6 + 14/6

= (57+14)/6

= 71/6

= 11 5/6

Hence the value as a mixed fraction is 11 5/6

3) 4 3/8 + 1 5/8

= 35/8 + 13/8

= (35+13)/8

= 48/8

= 6

Hence the value is 6
