Solve 21/3+quad31/3

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{17}{3}\approx 5.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

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

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{3}+\frac{3\times 3+1}{3}$$

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$\frac{7}{3}+\frac{9+1}{3}$$

Add 9 and 1 to get 10.

$$\frac{7}{3}+\frac{10}{3}$$

Since \frac{7}{3} and \frac{10}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{7+10}{3}$$

Add 7 and 10 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{17}{3} = 5\frac{2}{3} = 5.666666666666667$$
