Solve 12/3+41/3

$$1 \frac { 2 } { 3 } + 4 \frac { 1 } { 3 }$$

Evaluate

$$6$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 3 to get 3.

$$\frac{3+2}{3}+\frac{4\times 3+1}{3}$$

Add 3 and 2 to get 5.

$$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{4\times 3+1}{3}$$

Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.

$$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{12+1}{3}$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{13}{3}$$

Since \frac{5}{3} and \frac{13}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+13}{3}$$

Add 5 and 13 to get 18.

$$\frac{18}{3}$$

Divide 18 by 3 to get 6.

$$6$$

Factor

$$2\times 3$$
