What is 1 5/6 + 1/2?

a.17/6

b.14/6

c.25/12

d.17/12

Answer 1

I think the answer is 3 . Is the question mistake?

Answer 2

We can begin by converting 1/2 to 3/6 for our common denominator. The problem then turns into:

1 5/6 + 3/6

Upon addition, we will find that:

1 5/6 + 3/6 = 1 8/6

This is improper and can be converted to:

2 2/6 OR 2 1/3

This answer is equivalent to option B because 14/6 = 2 2/6.

The answer is option B.
