Rinda needs t9 solve the problem 1 2/9+5 2/3
To solve the problem 1 2/9 + 5 2/3, Rinda needs to add the fractions and the whole numbers separately.
First, let's add the fractions:
2/9 + 2/3 = (2*3 + 2*9) / (9*3) = 6/9 +18/9 = 24/9
Now, simplify the fraction:
24/9 = 8/3
Next, add the whole numbers:
1 + 5 = 6
Finally, add the result of the fractions and the whole numbers:
6 + 8/3
To add a whole number with a fraction, we need to convert the whole number into a fraction with the same denominator as the fraction. The denominator in this case is 3.
6 = 6/1, so multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3, we get 6/1 = 18/3
Now we can add the fractions:
18/3 + 8/3 = (18+8)/3 = 26/3
Therefore, the final result is 26/3.
