tkhunny · Answer

You can't be serious.  You're using decimals to get to mixed numbers?  You already had fractions.  You need fractions.  Don't let them go.

$\dfrac{5}{6} + \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{5}{6} + \dfrac{4}{6} = \dfrac{9}{6} = \dfrac{3}{2} = \dfrac{2}{2} + \dfrac{1}{2} =$ 1½

Why would you use decimals to get there?

mathmale · Answer

Because both fractions in "(5/6) + (4/6)" have the same denominator, the "lowest common denominator," you can add them together.  Add together their numerators, but keep the LCD (6).  

Your result is an "improper fraction," because your numerator is larger than your denom.

If you want a mixed number, divide the denom. (6) into the numerator and write the result as   $$1~\frac{ ? }{ 6 }$$
