$$\frac { 21 } { 3 } + \frac { 11 } { 2 } = 5$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Divide 21 by 3 to get 7.

$$7+\frac{11}{2}=5$$

Convert 7 to fraction \frac{14}{2}.

$$\frac{14}{2}+\frac{11}{2}=5$$

Since \frac{14}{2} and \frac{11}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{14+11}{2}=5$$

Add 14 and 11 to get 25.

$$\frac{25}{2}=5$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{10}{2}.

$$\frac{25}{2}=\frac{10}{2}$$

Compare \frac{25}{2} and \frac{10}{2}.

$$\text{false}$$
