Question

Solve the problem 2 2/3+3 1/2​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{37}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I think what you mean is

$2 \times \frac{2}{3} + 3 \times \frac{1}{2}$

First we convert them into improper fractions

$\frac{(3 \times 2) + 2}{3} + \frac{(2 \times 3) + 1}{2}$

We get

$\frac{8}{3} + \frac{7}{2}$

We find the LCM of the two denominators which happen to be 6

So,

$\frac{8 \times 2}{3 \times 2} + \frac{7 \times 3}{2 \times 3}$

We get

$\frac{16}{6} + \frac{21}{6}$

We add the fractions

$\frac{37}{6}$

That's the answer
