Answer 2

`6 (1)/(12)`

Explanation:

1) Use Least Common Denominator or (LCD)

LCD = 12

2) Make the denominators the same as the LCD.

`5 + (1 times 4 )/(3 times 4 ) + (3 times3)/(4times 3)`

3) Simplify. Denominators are now the same.

`5 + (4)/(12) +(9)/(12)`

4) Join the denominators.

`5+ (4+9)/(12)`

5) Simplify.

`5+(13)/(12)`

6) Convert 13/12 into a mixed number.

`5+ 1 (1)/(12)`

7) Simplify.

`6 (1)/(12)`

Decimal Form: 6.083333
