Answer:

3 2/3

Explanation:

Do the multiplications and then convert the denominator to the same number. Then add the fractions/numbers.

1 5/6 = 11/6

1 5/6 * 2 * 3/4 + 1 5/6 * 1 * 3/4​

(11/6)*(2)*(3/4) + (11/6)*(1)*(3/4)

(11/6)*[(2)*(3/4) + (1)*(3/4)] [Factor out (11/6) to make it easier to calculate, if you want]

((11/6)*(6/4) + (11/6)*(3/4))

(66/24) + (22/24) [The denominators are now both 24, so the numerators may be added]

88/24 = 3 (16/24) or 3 2/3

(11/6)*(2)*(3/4)

(11/6)*(1)*(3/4)
