Solve 21/3+3/4

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{37}{12}\approx 3.083333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

$$\frac{6+1}{3}+\frac{3}{4}$$

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{3}+\frac{3}{4}$$

Least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. Convert \frac{7}{3} and \frac{3}{4} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$\frac{28}{12}+\frac{9}{12}$$

Since \frac{28}{12} and \frac{9}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{28+9}{12}$$

Add 28 and 9 to get 37.

$$\frac{37}{12}$$

Factor

$$\frac{37}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 3\frac{1}{12} = 3.0833333333333335$$
