Solve 11/2+23/6

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

Evaluate

$$4$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

$$\frac{2+1}{2}+\frac{2\times 6+3}{6}$$

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{2}+\frac{2\times 6+3}{6}$$

Multiply 2 and 6 to get 12.

$$\frac{3}{2}+\frac{12+3}{6}$$

Add 12 and 3 to get 15.

$$\frac{3}{2}+\frac{15}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

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

Since \frac{3}{2} and \frac{5}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 3 and 5 to get 8.

$$\frac{8}{2}$$

Divide 8 by 2 to get 4.

$$4$$

Factor

$$2^{2}$$
