Solve 1/3+19/3

$$\frac { 1 } { 3 } + 1 \frac { 9 } { 3 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{13}{3}\approx 4.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 3 to get 3.

$$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3+9}{3}$$

Add 3 and 9 to get 12.

$$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{12}{3}$$

Since \frac{1}{3} and \frac{12}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+12}{3}$$

Add 1 and 12 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{13}{3} = 4\frac{1}{3} = 4.333333333333333$$
