What is 9 and 2 thihrds 2 and 5 eights?

Answer 1

9 2/3 + 2 5/8

= [9(3) + 2]/3 + [2(8) + 5]/8

= (27 + 2)/3 + (16 + 5)/8

= 29/3 + 21/8 the common denominator is 24

= (29/3)(8/8) + (21/8)(3/3)

= (29 x 8)/(3 x 8) + (21 x 3)/(8 x 3)

= 232/24 + 63/24

= (232 + 63)/24

= 295/24 since 295/24 = 12.29166667 then,

= 12 [295 - 12(24)]/24

= 12 (295 - 288)/24

= 12 7/24

Or

9 2/3 + 2 5/8 the common denominator is 24

= 9 (2/3)(8/8) + 2 (5/8)(3/3)

= 9 (2 x 8)/(3 x 8) + 2 (5 x 3)/(8 x 3)

= 9 16/24 + 2 15/24

= (9 + 2) (16 + 15)/24

= 11 31/24

= (11 + 1) (31 - 24)/24

= 12 7/24
