Solve 7/3+5/2=

$$\frac { 7 } { 3 } + \frac { 5 } { 2 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{29}{6}\approx 4.833333333$$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6. Convert \frac{7}{3} and \frac{5}{2} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$\frac{14}{6}+\frac{15}{6}$$

Since \frac{14}{6} and \frac{15}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{14+15}{6}$$

Add 14 and 15 to get 29.

$$\frac{29}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{29}{2 \cdot 3} = 4\frac{5}{6} = 4.833333333333333$$
