Question

What is 1 5/6 +2 2/11

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

FIrst we have to add the whole part of the mixed numbers and then the fractions. If the result of adding the fractions is an improper fraction we have to change it into a mixed number:

`\begin{gathered} 1(5)/(6)+2(2)/(11)=(1+2)((5)/(6)+(2)/(11)) \\ 1(5)/(6)+2(2)/(11)=3(67)/(66) \end{gathered}`

Since 67/66 is an improper fraction we have to write it as a mixed number, which is 1 1/66. Then we add the whole part to the whole part we had (in this case is 3):

`1(5)/(6)+2(2)/(11)=(3+1)(1)/(66)=4(1)/(66)`

Answer:

The result is 4 1/66
