Question #6953f
1 Answer
Explanation:
When adding fractions you can decide whether you want to:
- change them into improper fractions or
- work with the whole numbers separately
Let's add the whole numbers first:
#color(magenta)(2) 2/3 +color(magenta)(3) 2/3 = color(magenta)(5) +2/3 +2/3#
Now add the fractions.
The denominators are already the same, just add the numerators.
#5+ color(blue)(2/3 +2/3) = 5 color(blue)(4/3)" "rarr " "(4/3 = 1 1/3)#
#=5+1 1/3#
# = 6 1/3#
(As the question was given with mixed numbers it is better to answer with mixed numbers.)
