Solve 7/2+7/3=

$$\frac { 7 } { 2 } + \frac { 7 } { 3 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{35}{6}\approx 5.833333333$$

Solution Steps

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

$$\frac{21}{6}+\frac{14}{6}$$

Since \frac{21}{6} and \frac{14}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{21+14}{6}$$

Add 21 and 14 to get 35.

$$\frac{35}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 \cdot 7}{2 \cdot 3} = 5\frac{5}{6} = 5.833333333333333$$
