Answer 1

Answer: 1 11/21

Explanation:

Data: 2/3+6/7=x

Step one, Find the common denominator

(2/3)x7(for each number)=14/21

(6/7)x3(for each number)=18/21

Reason: To add fractions, you always have to find the common denominator(so you can make the denominator the same for each fraction). The common denominator of 3 and 7 is 21 and since what you do to the bottom has to be done to the top, you multiply 2 by 7 and 6 by 3 to end up with 14/21 and 18/21.

Step two, add

14/21+18/21=32/21=1 11/21

Reason: Since we have our common denominators, we just have to add and, with fractions, you only add the top(numerator) and not the bottom(denominator) you end up with 32/14 but when made into a mixed fraction(by dividing the bottom into the top and leaving the remainder on the top) you get 1 11/21 which can't be simplified.

So since it can't be simplified, it's your answer

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

1 11/21

Explanation:

Use common denominator of 3 * 7 = 21

2/3 * 7/7 = 14/21

6/7 * 3/3 = 18/21

-------------------------

14/21 + 18/21 = 32/21

Reduce

32/21 = 1 11/21
