Question

Find the sum. 2 3/6 + 4 1/6

Answer 1

6 4/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To sum 2 3/6 and 4 1/6, we first need to convert the mixed numbers to fractions as follows

`\begin{gathered} 2(3)/(6)=((2*6)+3)/(6)=(12+3)/(6)=(15)/(6) \\ 4(1)/(6)=((4*6)+1)/(6)=(24+1)/(6)=(25)/(6) \end{gathered}`

Now, we can add the numbers as

`(15)/(6)+(25)/(6)=(15+25)/(6)=(40)/(6)`

Finally, when we divide 40 by 6, we get 6 as a quotient and 4 as a remainder, so 40/6 is equivalent to

`6(4)/(6)`

Therefore, the answer is 6 4/6
