Question

Add. 5/6 + 2 3/4
Enter the sum in the box has a mixed number in the simplest form

Answer 1

Answer: 3⁷/₁₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Numerator- number on top of fraction

Denominator- number on bottom of fraction

First find a common denominator. A number that both denominators can go into. In this case we'll use 12. Because both of the denominators, 6 and 4, fit into 12.

6 goes into 12 twice. And 4 goes into 12 three times.

To convert to a common denominator, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. Do not multiply the whole number.

So because 6 goes into 12 twice, we multiply by 2.

⁵/₆ x 2 = ¹⁰/₁₂

And because 4 goes into 12 three times, we multiply by 3.

2³/₄ × 3 = 2⁹/₁₂

Okay so now that both numbers have a common denominator, we can add.

¹⁰/₁₂ + 2⁹/₁₂ = 2 ¹⁹/₁₂

Simplified as 3 ⁷/₁₂

Answer 2

3 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to make both denominators the same through multiplication but remember if you do that you have to multiply the numerator by the same number as the denominator. then after you do that you can add them and if it comes out improper then you need to simplify your fraction and you have the answer.
