Solve 2*1/4+2/3

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{7}{6}\approx 1.166666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and \frac{1}{4} to get \frac{2}{4}.

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

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

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

Least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. Convert \frac{1}{2} and \frac{2}{3} to fractions with denominator 6.

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

Since \frac{3}{6} and \frac{4}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 3 and 4 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{7}{2 \cdot 3} = 1\frac{1}{6} = 1.1666666666666667$$
