Solve 56/7+34/7

$$5 \frac { 6 } { 7 } + 3 \frac { 4 } { 7 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{66}{7}\approx 9.428571429$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 5 and 7 to get 35.

$$\frac{35+6}{7}+\frac{3\times 7+4}{7}$$

Add 35 and 6 to get 41.

$$\frac{41}{7}+\frac{3\times 7+4}{7}$$

Multiply 3 and 7 to get 21.

$$\frac{41}{7}+\frac{21+4}{7}$$

Add 21 and 4 to get 25.

$$\frac{41}{7}+\frac{25}{7}$$

Since \frac{41}{7} and \frac{25}{7} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{41+25}{7}$$

Add 41 and 25 to get 66.

$$\frac{66}{7}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 3 \cdot 11}{7} = 9\frac{3}{7} = 9.428571428571429$$
