Question

How can I get the correct answer
2 1/2+1 1/3+1/6

Answer 1

`(43)/(3)`

Explanation:

21/2 + 11/3 + 1/6

Least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. Convert
`(21)/(2)` and
`(11)/(3)` to fractions with denominator 6.

`(63)/(6)` +
`(22)/(6)` +
`(1)/(6)`

Since
`(63)/(6) and (22)/(6)` have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

`(63 + 22)/(6)` +
`(1)/(6)`

Add 63 and 22 to get 85.

`(85)/(6)` +
`(1)/(6)`

Since
`(85)/(6) and (1)/(6)` have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators

`(85 + 1)/(6)`

Add 85 and 1 to get 86.

`(86)/(6)`

Reduce the fraction
`(86)/(6)` to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

`(43)/(3)`

Answer 2

2+1 equal to 4 than 3+1 equal to 4 then 21+6 equals to 27
