Question

5/6 + 2/3 = ?
Your
answer

Answer 1

Improper Fraction:
`(10)/(6)`

Proper Fraction:
`1(4)/(6)`

Simplified Proper Fraction:
`1(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

`(5)/(6) + (2)/(3)` Is our equation... first we must find a common denominator! Let's take a look...

6: 1, 6, 12

3: 1, 3, 6

We see that both numbers get to 6 so we use that as our common denominator. Now we plug that in...

`(5*1)/(6*1) +(2*2)/(3*2)`

We get...

`(5)/(6) +(4)/(6) = (10)/(6)`

Now if you want to leave it as an improper fraction your answer will be
`(10)/(6)`. However, if you want you answer to be a proper fraction your answer is
`1(4)/(6)` which can be simplified further to,
`1(2)/(3)`.

Whew! What a toughie! We showed that math problem!
