Solve 21/9+37/9

$$2 \frac { 1 } { 9 } + 3 \frac { 7 } { 9 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{53}{9}\approx 5.888888889$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 9 to get 18.

$$\frac{18+1}{9}+\frac{3\times 9+7}{9}$$

Add 18 and 1 to get 19.

$$\frac{19}{9}+\frac{3\times 9+7}{9}$$

Multiply 3 and 9 to get 27.

$$\frac{19}{9}+\frac{27+7}{9}$$

Add 27 and 7 to get 34.

$$\frac{19}{9}+\frac{34}{9}$$

Since \frac{19}{9} and \frac{34}{9} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{19+34}{9}$$

Add 19 and 34 to get 53.

$$\frac{53}{9}$$

Factor

$$\frac{53}{3 ^ {2}} = 5\frac{8}{9} = 5.888888888888889$$
