What is 3 23 plus 2 34?

Answer 1

To add the mixed numbers (3 \frac{23}{24}) and (2 \frac{3}{4}), first convert (2 \frac{3}{4}) to a fraction: (2 \frac{3}{4} = 2 + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4}). Now, convert (3 \frac{23}{24}) to an improper fraction: (3 \frac{23}{24} = \frac{72}{24} + \frac{23}{24} = \frac{95}{24}). Next, find a common denominator (which is 24) and convert (\frac{11}{4}) to (\frac{66}{24}). Finally, add the fractions: (\frac{95}{24} + \frac{66}{24} = \frac{161}{24}), which simplifies to (6 \frac{13}{24}). Thus, (3 \frac{23}{24} + 2 \frac{3}{4} = 6 \frac{13}{24}).
