Question

What is 2 2/3+1 1/2

Answer 1

4 1/6

Explanation:

first make both mixed fractions turn back to regular fractions

2 2/3 + 1 1/2 --------------> 8/3 + 3/2

determine a common denominator.

multiply 8/3 by 2/2

8/3 x 2/2 = 16/6

multiply 3/2 by 3/3

3/2 x 3/3 = 9/6

now add 16/6 and 9/6 together

16/6 + 9/6 = 25/6

make this a mixed fraction again

4 1/6

Answer 2

24/6 or 4 because you have to change it into a improper fraction first
