Question

Will fan and medal. Stuck on this question heh
6 1/3 + k + 3 5/6 + 5 1/2 = 26 1/6

Answer 1

Have you considered:...?

1) Changing mixed numbers to improper fractions
2) Finding a common denominator

Answer 2

First, get everything to a common denominator:
6 1/3 becomes 6 2/6
5 1/2 becomes 5 3/6
Now we have: 6 2/6 +k + 3 5/6 + 5 3/6 = 26 1/6
Next, Isolate k
k = 26 1/6 - (6 2/6 + 3 5/6 + 5 3/6)
Simplify
k = 26 1/6 - (15 4/6)
Simplify
k = 10 3/6
Simplify
k = 10 1/2 or 10.5

Answer 3

Why didn't 6 become 36/6 or k become k/6?

"Get everything" doesn't seem to be where you went.

Answer 4

I changed the mixed numbers into improper fractions, aaaaand I got it. Thank you c:
