Question

3=2 1/6 + ____


Please help or explain I’m confused!

Answer 1

5/6

Explanation:

The answer is 5/6. To get this, ignore the 2 for now, and focus on 1/6. We want to make 1/6 a whole number, because 1 + 5 is 6 (if we make 1/6 a whole number it will be 1). So subtract 1 from 6, and you get 5. 5/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 or 1. Now you can bring the 2 back, and you have 3 = 2 1/6 + 5/6.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

5/6

Explanation:

Let's take the blank as "x"

`3 = 2 (1)/(6) + x`

`= > x = 3 - 2 (1)/(6)`

`= > x = 3 - (13)/(6)`

`= > x = (18 - 13)/(6)`

`= > x = (5)/(6) (ans)`

Hence,

In the blank there will be 5/6
