Answer 7

How do we convert 2 1/6 to an improper fraction?

Method 1: Multiply and divide the '2' by (6/6). Result: 12/6. Add the 1/6. Result: 13/6.

Method 2. Starting with 2 1/6, multiply the 2 by 6 and add that 1. Result: 13/6.

We need to combine 13/6 and 7/8 into one fraction. Are you able to identify the LCD here? 6 times 8 would give you 48, but there is a smaller number that's our correct LCD.
