Answer 1

Hello @baconbaby1334 !
Okay, so your first step would be to convert \(\Large 3\frac{1}{4}\) into an improper fraction. Can you do that?

Answer 2

13/4?

Answer 3

ok!

Answer 4

Correct. So now you have
\(\Large \frac{2}{3}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{13}{4})\)

Now, there is two ways to do this. You can add the stuff in the parenthesis first and then multiply that by 2/3, or you can distribute the 2/3 to the stuff in the parenthesis, and then add. Which way do you want to do?

Answer 5

parenthesis

Answer 6

2/3(43/12)
43/18 is answer

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Okay, so what do you get when you add them together?
