Answer 2

Answer: 6 and 7/12

Step-by-step explanation: To add mixed numbers, first add the fractions.

Since 5/6 and 3/4 are unlike fractions, we first need

to find a common denominator, which in this case is 12.

So we multiply the numerator and

denominator of 5/6 by 2 to get 10/12.

We will also multiply the numerator

and denominator of 3/4 by 3 to get 9/12.

Now we can add the like fractions, 10/12 + 9/12 to get 19/12.

Next we add the whole numbers, 1 + 4 is 5.

19/12 means 1 and 7/12 so we have 5 and

7/12 + 1 and 7/12 which is 6 and 7/12.
