Question

What is 9 1/3 + 4 5/6?

Answer 1

9 1/3 + 4 5/6

Multiply the first fraction (9 1/3) by 2/2 so that both denominators (bottom numbers) are the same.

9 1/3 × 2/2 = 9 2/6

So, our new equation would be :

9 2/6 + 4 5/6

When both denominators (bottom numbers) are the same, all you have to do is add the numerators (top numbers) together, as well as adding the whole numbers with one another.

Whole numbers : 9 + 4 = 13

Numerators : 2 + 5 = 7

Denominator : Stays the same.

So, our answer is 13 7/6

However, this is improper, so now it'll be:

14 1/6

Answer 2

There's a quick way to make this simple. Get both numbers to have an equal denominator. Since 3 goes into 6 twice and 6 goes into 6 once, multiply 1/3 by 2. This gives us 2/6.
Now, we have 9 2/6 + 4 5/6.
Combine whole numbers first.
9 + 4 = 13.
Now add the fractions.
2/6 + 5/6 = 7/6 or 1 1/6.
Add the whole number to our sum.
13 + 1 1/6 = 14 1/6.
14 1/6 is your answer.
I hope this helps!
