Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{gathered} \rm \: \bigg(5 \frac{1}{4} - 2 \frac{1}{2} \bigg) + \bigg(6 \frac{2}{3} - 3 \frac{1}{2} \bigg) \\ \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} \rm \: = \bigg(\frac{20 + 1}{4} - \frac{4 + 1}{2} \bigg) + \bigg( \frac{18 + 2}{3} - \frac{6 + 1}{2} \bigg) \\ \end{gathered}=(420+1−24+1)+(318+2−26+1)$

$\rm \: = \bigg( \frac{21 - 10}{4} \bigg) + \bigg( \frac{4 0 - 21}{6} \bigg)$

$\begin{gathered} \rm \: = \bigg( \frac{21}{4} - \frac{5}{2} \bigg) + \bigg( \frac{20}{3} - \frac{7}{2} \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} \rm \: = \frac{11}{4} + \frac{19}{6} \\ \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} \rm \: = \frac{33 + 38}{12} \\ \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} \rm \: = \frac{71}{12} = \boxed{5 \frac{11}{12} } \approx5.916.... \\ \end{gathered}$
