Solve 3+3=52/3*13/8=

$$3 + 3 = 5 \frac { 2 } { 3 } \times 1 \frac { 3 } { 8 } =$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 24, the least common multiple of 3,8.

$$72+72=\left(5\times 3+2\right)\left(1\times 8+3\right)$$

Add 72 and 72 to get 144.

$$144=\left(5\times 3+2\right)\left(1\times 8+3\right)$$

Multiply 5 and 3 to get 15.

$$144=\left(15+2\right)\left(1\times 8+3\right)$$

Add 15 and 2 to get 17.

$$144=17\left(1\times 8+3\right)$$

Multiply 1 and 8 to get 8.

$$144=17\left(8+3\right)$$

Add 8 and 3 to get 11.

$$144=17\times 11$$

Multiply 17 and 11 to get 187.

$$144=187$$

Compare 144 and 187.
