Question

The sum of 1 4/6 + 3

Answer 1

We need to sum a mixed number with a whole number.

First, convert the mixed number into a fraction.

`1(4)/(6)=(1)/(1)+(4)/(6)=(6+4)/(6)=(10)/(6)=(5)/(3)`

Hence:

`1(4)/(6)=(5)/(3)`

Now, we can add up to the fraction with the whole number:

`(5)/(3)+3=(5)/(3)+(3)/(1)=(5+9)/(3)=(14)/(3)`

Hence, the result is:

`1(4)/(6)+3=(14)/(3)`
