The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of the mixed fractions and whole number given in the question \(3 \frac{2}{3} + 1 \frac{5}{6} + 2\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Fractions to Improper Fractions First, we need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions. 1. **Convert \(3 \frac{2}{3}\)**: - Multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (3): \(3 \times 3 = 9\) - Add the numerator (2): \(9 + 2 = 11\) - So, \(3 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{11}{3}\) 2. **Convert \(1 \frac{5}{6}\)**: - Multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (6): \(1 \times 6 = 6\) - Add the numerator (5): \(6 + 5 = 11\) - So, \(1 \frac{5}{6} = \frac{11}{6}\) ### Step 2: Rewrite the Whole Number as a Fraction The whole number \(2\) can be written as a fraction: - \(2 = \frac{2}{1}\) ### Step 3: Find a Common Denominator Now, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions \(\frac{11}{3}\), \(\frac{11}{6}\), and \(\frac{2}{1}\). - The denominators are \(3\), \(6\), and \(1\). - The least common multiple (LCM) of \(3\), \(6\), and \(1\) is \(6\). ### Step 4: Convert All Fractions to Have the Common Denominator Now we convert each fraction to have the denominator of \(6\): 1. **Convert \(\frac{11}{3}\)**: - Multiply the numerator and denominator by \(2\): \[ \frac{11 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{22}{6} \] 2. **Convert \(\frac{11}{6}\)**: - This fraction already has the denominator of \(6\), so it remains \(\frac{11}{6}\). 3. **Convert \(\frac{2}{1}\)**: - Multiply the numerator and denominator by \(6\): \[ \frac{2 \times 6}{1 \times 6} = \frac{12}{6} \] ### Step 5: Add the Fractions Now we can add the fractions: \[ \frac{22}{6} + \frac{11}{6} + \frac{12}{6} = \frac{22 + 11 + 12}{6} = \frac{45}{6} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Result Now we simplify \(\frac{45}{6}\): - Divide both the numerator and denominator by \(3\): \[ \frac{45 \div 3}{6 \div 3} = \frac{15}{2} \] ### Final Answer The sum \(3 \frac{2}{3} + 1 \frac{5}{6} + 2\) is \(\frac{15}{2}\). ---
