What is 1 and 2 3rds plus 2 and 5 6ths?

Answer 1

12/3 + 25/6 = 41/2

Convert to improper (top heavy) fractions, add (converting to equivalent fractions with a common denominator) and simplify (converting any resulting improper fraction back to a mixed fraction):

12/3 = 5/3

25/6 = 17/6

⇒ 12/3 + 25/6 = 5/3 + 17/6

= 10/6 + 17/6

= 27/6

= 9/2

= 41/2
