Solve p=3/6+8/6

$$p = \frac { 3 } { 6 } + \frac { 8 } { 6 }$$

Solve for p

$$p = \frac{11}{6} = 1\frac{5}{6} \approx 1.833333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$p=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{8}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$p=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{4}{3}$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. Convert \frac{1}{2} and \frac{4}{3} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$p=\frac{3}{6}+\frac{8}{6}$$

Since \frac{3}{6} and \frac{8}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$p=\frac{3+8}{6}$$

Add 3 and 8 to get 11.

$$p=\frac{11}{6}$$

Assign p

$$p≔\frac{11}{6}$$
