What is fractional notation for 2 and one sixth?

Answer 1

To put a whole number and a fraction together you must convert the whole number into fractional form first.

Since 2 is the whole number, and one sixth is the fraction, we must change to 2 into sixths. To do this we multiply 2 by the fraction 6/6.

2 x 6/6 = 12/6

Now both numbers have 6 in the denominator, and we can add the tops.

12/6 + 1/6 = 13/6
