pls tell me the answer ASAP

Answer 1

6
`(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Another way to write 5 2/3 is to change this into an improper fractions. Another names for 1 is 3/3. I am going to add 5, 3/3 to 2/3

3/3 + 3/3 + 3/3 + 3/3 + 3/3 + 2/3 = 17/3

We want to add this to 11/12, but to do that we need a common denominator. I need to make an equivalent fraction of 17/3 where 12 is the denominator

`(17)/(3)` x
`(4)/(4)` =
`(68)/(12)` Now we can add the two fractions together.

`(68)/(12)` +
`(11)/(12)` =
`(79)/(12)` = 6
`(3)/(4)`
