Question

1 1/3+2 2/3 mixed number

Answer 1

1-1/3 = 4/3

2-2/3 = 8/3

(4/3) + (8/3) = 12/3

But 12/3 = 4 .

The only way to make a mixed number out of 4 is to call it "4 and 0/3".

Answer 2

`1(1)/(3)+2(2)/(3)=1+(1)/(3)+2+(2)/(3)=(1+2)+\left((1)/(3)+(2)/(3)\right)=3+(1+2)/(3)\\\\=3+(3)/(3)=3+1=4`
