Question

Add six and one-sixth plus two and two-thirds.

nine and five-sixths

eight and two-thirds

nine and two-thirds

eight and five-sixths

Answer 1

So we have:

\[6\frac{ 1 }{ 6 } + 2\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } = ?\]

Answer 2

Well we just need to make the denominator of the second fraction 6, and we know that 2 • 3 is 6. Therefore, we must have to multiply both the top and bottom by 2 to make it be able to add with 1/6:

2/2 • 2/3 = 4/6

So now we have:

\[6\frac{ 1 }{ 6 } + 2\frac{ 4 }{ 6 } = ?\]

Now just add!

6 + 2 = 8

1 + 4 = 5

Using this information we can conclude that:

\[6\frac{ 1 }{ 6 } + 2\frac{ 4 }{ 6 } = 8\frac{ 5 }{6}\]

It can't be simplified any further without having the numerator be a decimal, so this is our final answer.
