Solve 21/3+12/3

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

Evaluate

$$4$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

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

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{3}+\frac{1\times 3+2}{3}$$

Multiply 1 and 3 to get 3.

$$\frac{7}{3}+\frac{3+2}{3}$$

Add 3 and 2 to get 5.

$$\frac{7}{3}+\frac{5}{3}$$

Since \frac{7}{3} and \frac{5}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{7+5}{3}$$

Add 7 and 5 to get 12.

$$\frac{12}{3}$$

Divide 12 by 3 to get 4.

$$4$$

Factor

$$2^{2}$$
