Solve 4/7+2/7+6/7

$$\frac { 4 } { 7 } + \frac { 2 } { 7 } + \frac { 6 } { 7 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{12}{7}\approx 1.714285714$$

Solution Steps

Since \frac{4}{7} and \frac{2}{7} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{4+2}{7}+\frac{6}{7}$$

Add 4 and 2 to get 6.

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

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

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

Add 6 and 6 to get 12.

$$\frac{12}{7}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3}{7} = 1\frac{5}{7} = 1.7142857142857142$$
