Solve 8/3+1/2+5/6

$$\frac { 8 } { 3 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } + \frac { 5 } { 6 }$$

Evaluate

$$4$$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6. Convert \frac{8}{3} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$\frac{16}{6}+\frac{3}{6}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Since \frac{16}{6} and \frac{3}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{16+3}{6}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Add 16 and 3 to get 19.

$$\frac{19}{6}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Since \frac{19}{6} and \frac{5}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{19+5}{6}$$

Add 19 and 5 to get 24.

$$\frac{24}{6}$$

Divide 24 by 6 to get 4.

$$4$$

Factor

$$2^{2}$$
