Step-by-step explanation:
The fractions have, unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.
LCD(3/2, 1/3) = 6
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is multiplying each fraction by 1.
(32×33)+(13×22)=?
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
96+26=?
The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.
Then:
9+26=116
This fraction cannot be reduced.
The fraction
116
is the same as
11÷6
Convert to a mixed number using
long division for 11 ÷ 6 = 1R5, so
116=156
Therefore:
3/2+1/3=1 5/6
