3 5/6 = ((3*6) + 5) / 6
4 2/3 = ((4*2) + 3) / 3

Answer 3

I STILL DONT get it @cj49

Answer 4

23/6+14/3
23+28/6
51/6=17/2=8(1/2)

Answer 5

3 5/6 = ((3*6) + 5) / 6 = 18+5/6 == 23/6
4 2/3 = ((4*3) + 2) / 3 = 12+2 / 3== 14/3

we need a common denominator so
3*1 = 3 3*2 = 6 thats it so we have to multiply numerator and denominator by 2

2/2 * 14/3 = 28/6

now we can add

23/6 + 28/6 = ????
