Answer:


(43)/(3)

Explanation:

21/2 + 11/3 + 1/6

Least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. Convert
(21)/(2) and
(11)/(3) to fractions with denominator 6.


(63)/(6) +
(22)/(6) +
(1)/(6)

Since
(63)/(6) and (22)/(6) have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.


(63 + 22)/(6) +
(1)/(6)

Add 63 and 22 to get 85.


(85)/(6) +
(1)/(6)

Since
(85)/(6) and (1)/(6) have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators


(85 + 1)/(6)

Add 85 and 1 to get 86.


(86)/(6)

Reduce the fraction
(86)/(6) to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.


(43)/(3)
