How do you add two fractions and a mixed number?

Answer 1

For example:

2/3 + 4/5 + 2 1/6 the LCM of 3, 5, and 6 (or the common denominator) is 30, so:

= 2x10/3x10 + 4x6/5x6 + 2 1x5/6x5

= 20/30 + 24/30 + 2 5/30

= 2 (20 + 24 + 5)/30

= 2 49/30

= 2 + (30 + 19)/30

= 2 + 30/30 + 19/30

= 2 + 1 + 19/30

= 3 + 19/30

= 3 19/30
