Question

What is 1 1/6 plus 2 3/8 (by the way show work)

Answer 1

\frac{170}{48}

Explanation:

1
`(1)/(6)` =
`(7)/(6)`

2
`(3)/(8)` =
`(19)/(8)`

in order to add these fractions, we need the denominators to be same. We can multiply 6 and 8 to get 48.

In doing this, we need to multiply the numerators by the respective numbers also.

So, 7 (8) = 56 and 19 (6) = 114.

Add:

`(56)/(48)` +
`(114)/(48)` =
`(170)/(48)`
