Question

What is 3 2/3 + 1 2/3=

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3 2/3 = 11/3

1 2/3 = 5/3

11/3+5/3= 16/3 = 5 1/3

Answer 2

5 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To add the mixed numbers, we need to transform them into fractions, so 3 2/3 and 1 2/3 are equivalent to:

`\begin{gathered} 3(2)/(3)=((3*3)+2)/(3)=(9+2)/(3)=(11)/(3) \\ 1(2)/(3)=((1*3)+2)/(3)=(3+2)/(3)=(5)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Then, since the fractions have the same denominator, we can add the fraction as:

`(11)/(3)+(5)/(3)=(11+5)/(3)=(16)/(3)`

Now, 16/3 as a mixed number is equal to:

`(16)/(3)=5(1)/(3)`

Because when we divide 16 by 3, we get 5 as a quotient and 1 as a remainder.

Therefore, the answer is 5 1/3
