Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Denominator = Bottom Number
1. Add 1/3 and 2/3 (Keep the same denominator)
[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex] [tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex] = 1
2. [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] is equal to [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex] is equal to [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
3. Since both fractions have a different denominator (bottom number), this is what you have to do next:
[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{6}[/tex] [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16}{6}[/tex]
3. Add both fractions now (Keep the same denominator)
[tex]\frac{9}{6}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{16}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{25}{6}[/tex]
4. Add 25/6 and 5/6 (Keep the same denominator)
[tex]\frac{25}{6}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{30}{6}[/tex]
5. In order to simplify 30/6, you have do this: (30 ÷ 6)
[tex]\frac{30}{6}[/tex] = 5
6. Add 5 and 1
5 + 1 = 6
