Question

Add and write the sum in lowest terms.

$\frac{2}{3}+\frac{7}{6}$

Answer 1

According to the question,

⇒$\frac{2}{3}+\frac{7}{6}$

LCM of 3 and 6 is "$6$"

⇒$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{2\times 2}{3\times 2}+\frac{7}{6} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{4}{6}+\frac{7}{6} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{4+7}{6} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{11}{6} \end{gathered}$$

Convert improper fraction to mixed fraction:

⇒$6111-6----05$

⇒$\frac{11}{6}=1\frac{5}{6}.$

Hence, the sum of $\frac{2}{3}+\frac{7}{6}$ is $1\frac{5}{6}.$
