Solve 229/6+12/6

$$2 \frac { 29 } { 6 } + \frac { 12 } { 6 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{53}{6}\approx 8.833333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 6 to get 12.

$$\frac{12+29}{6}+\frac{12}{6}$$

Add 12 and 29 to get 41.

$$\frac{41}{6}+\frac{12}{6}$$

Since \frac{41}{6} and \frac{12}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{41+12}{6}$$

Add 41 and 12 to get 53.

$$\frac{53}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{53}{2 \cdot 3} = 8\frac{5}{6} = 8.833333333333334$$
