Question

How do you add 1.7 plus 2 and 2/3

Answer 1

`(131)/(30)`

Explanation:

1. Convert the decimal into a fraction by writing our number above a fraction line without the decimal sign.

2. Count the decimal places. Below the fraction lines write the multiple of 10 with that many zeros so that would be
`(17)/(10)`

3. Now write all numerators above the lcd (least common denominator) 30. So that would be
`(51 + 60 + 20)/(30)`

4. Calculate the sum of the positive numbers. The result is
`(131)/(30)`

5. Answer is
`(131)/(30)`
