$$\frac { 7 } { 2 } + \frac { 6 } { 9 } + \frac { 22 } { 12 }$$

Evaluate

$$6$$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{9} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{7}{2}+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{22}{12}$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. Convert \frac{7}{2} and \frac{2}{3} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$\frac{21}{6}+\frac{4}{6}+\frac{22}{12}$$

Since \frac{21}{6} and \frac{4}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{21+4}{6}+\frac{22}{12}$$

Add 21 and 4 to get 25.

$$\frac{25}{6}+\frac{22}{12}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{22}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{25}{6}+\frac{11}{6}$$

Since \frac{25}{6} and \frac{11}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{25+11}{6}$$

Add 25 and 11 to get 36.

$$\frac{36}{6}$$

Divide 36 by 6 to get 6.

$$6$$

Factor
