Solve 4/6+3/6+8/6=

$$\frac { 4 } { 6 } + \frac { 3 } { 6 } + \frac { 8 } { 6 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{2}=2.5$$

Solution Steps

Since \frac{4}{6} and \frac{3}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{4+3}{6}+\frac{8}{6}$$

Add 4 and 3 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{6}+\frac{8}{6}$$

Since \frac{7}{6} and \frac{8}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{7+8}{6}$$

Add 7 and 8 to get 15.

$$\frac{15}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{5}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{2} = 2\frac{1}{2} = 2.5$$
