What is 3 56 plus 2 23?

Answer 1

To add the mixed numbers (3 \frac{56}{100}) and (2 \frac{23}{100}), first convert them to improper fractions: (3 \frac{56}{100} = \frac{356}{100}) and (2 \frac{23}{100} = \frac{223}{100}). Adding these gives (\frac{356 + 223}{100} = \frac{579}{100}). Converting back to a mixed number, (579 \div 100 = 5) with a remainder of 79, so the answer is (5 \frac{79}{100}).
