Question

What is 2 1/5 plus 1 5/6

Answer 1

2 1/5 + 1 5/6

First find a common denominator, 30.

Make improper fractions, then convert the denominator to 30:

2 1/5 becomes 11/5

1 5/6 becomes 11/6

11/5 x 6/6 = 66/30 (because 5 multiplied by 6 is 30)

11/6 x 5/5 = 55/30 (because 6 multiplied by 5 is 30)

66/30 + 55/30 = 121/30, which simplified is

= 4 1/30
