2 5/6+ 3 2/5 in simplest form.

187/30 would be your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 6. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 6/

6

= 12/

6

b) Add the answer from previous step 12 to the numerator 5. New numerator is 12 + 5 = 17

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 17) over the denominator 6.

Two and five sixths is seventeen sixths

Conversion a mixed number 3 2/

5

to a improper fraction: 3 2/5 = 3 2/

5

= 3 · 5 + 2/

5

= 15 + 2/

5

= 17/

5

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 3 by the denominator 5. Whole number 3 equally 3 * 5/

5

= 15/

5

b) Add the answer from previous step 15 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 15 + 2 = 17

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 17) over the denominator 5.

Three and two fifths is seventeen fifths

Add: 17/

6

+ 17/

5

= 17 · 5/

6 · 5

+ 17 · 6/

5 · 6

= 85/

30

+ 102/

30

= 85 + 102/

30

= 187/

30

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(6, 5) = 30. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 6 × 5 = 30. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In words - seventeen sixths plus seventeen fifths = one hundred eighty-seven thirtieths.

17/6 + 17/5

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
