Mariano is solving 1 2/6 + 6 3/6 . What is the result?(1 point)
Apologies for the mistake.
To solve 1 2/6 + 6 3/6, we need to add the whole numbers separately and the fractions separately.
1 + 6 = 7 (sum of whole numbers)
2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6 (sum of fractions)
So, the result is 7 5/6.
correct
Thank you for confirming that the answer is correct. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
The calculation of 1 2/6 + 6 3/6 is as follows:
1 2/6 can be simplified as 1 + 2/6, which equals 1 + 1/3 = 4/3.
Similarly, 6 3/6 can be simplified as 6 + 3/6, which equals 6 + 1/2 = 13/2.
Now, adding 4/3 and 13/2 requires finding a common denominator, which is 6.
4/3 can be converted to 8/6, and 13/2 can be converted to 39/6.
Thus, 8/6 + 39/6 equals (8 + 39)/6 = 47/6.
Therefore, the result is 47/6.
wrong
To solve the problem, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
1 2/6 can be written as (6/6 + 2/6) = 8/6.
6 3/6 can be written as (6/6 + 3/6) = 9/6.
Step 2: Add the two fractions together.
8/6 + 9/6 = (8 + 9) / 6 = 17/6.
So the result of 1 2/6 + 6 3/6 is 17/6.
To solve the expression 1 2/6 + 6 3/6, you need to add the whole numbers and the fractions separately.
First, add the whole numbers: 1 + 6 = 7.
Next, add the fractions: 2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6.
Now, combine the whole number and fraction by placing the fraction over the same denominator (6): 7 + 5/6.
To add a whole number and a fraction, you need to convert the whole number to a fraction with the same denominator. In this case, the whole number 7 can be converted to 7/1.
Now, you can add the fractions: 7/1 + 5/6.
To add these fractions, you need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 1 and 6 is 6, so you can use 6 as the common denominator.
Now, you can add the fractions: (7*6)/6 + 5/6 = 42/6 + 5/6.
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, you can simply add the numerators together: 42 + 5 = 47.
So, the result of 1 2/6 + 6 3/6 is 47/6, which can also be expressed as a mixed number as 7 5/6.
