Question

Can someone explain how to solve 1 2/3 + 1 1/3 please

Answer 1

1 2/3 + 1 1/3

= 5/3 + 4/3 , after getting rid of those useless mixed numbers
= 9/3
= 3

or
notice that the two fractional parts have the same denominator, so
1 2/3 + 1 1/3
= 1 + 1 + 2/3 + 1/3
= 1+1+3/3
= 1+1+1 = 3

Answer 2

@mathhelper Thx sm

Answer 3

So, first you figure out what 1 + 1 is, I'm pretty sure you can figure that out

Now we figure out what 1/3 + 2/3 is, in order to do that we add the top numbers also called the numerators. so, 1 + 2 = 3 now we add back the denominator/ bottom number

1+1=2
2+1=3+denominator
the answer: 3/3 or 1

Hope this makes sense :)

Certainly! To solve the addition problem 1 2/3 + 1 1/3, you can follow these steps:

1. First, add the whole numbers together: 1 + 1 = 2.
2. Next, add the fractions together: 2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3.
3. Simplify the fraction 3/3. Since the numerator and denominator are the same, it equals 1.

Therefore, the solution is 2 1/3.

To reach this answer on your own, you can convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions. Here's how:

1. Multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add the numerator.
For 1 2/3, multiply 1 by 3 and add 2. This gives you 5.
For 1 1/3, multiply 1 by 3 and add 1. This gives you 4.

2. Keep the denominator the same to get the improper fractions.
So, for 1 2/3, the improper fraction is 5/3.
And for 1 1/3, the improper fraction is 4/3.

Once you have the improper fractions, you can add them easily.
5/3 + 4/3 = 9/3.

Now, you can simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor. In this case, 3 is the greatest common divisor of 9 and 3.
Dividing 9 by 3 gives you 3.
Dividing 3 by 3 gives you 1.

So, the simplified fraction is 1/1, which is equivalent to the whole number 1.
Converted back to a mixed number, 1 is the whole number, and the fraction is 0/3 (since 1 is already included).
Thus, the final answer is 2 1/3.
