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

Evaluate

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

Solution Steps

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

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

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

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

Add 14 and 21 to get 35.

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

Factor

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