What is one and one sixth added to seven eighths?

Answer 1

To add one and one sixth to seven eighths, first convert one and one sixth to an improper fraction: (1 \frac{1}{6} = \frac{7}{6}). Next, express seven eighths as (\frac{7}{8}). To add these fractions, find a common denominator, which is 24: (\frac{7}{6} = \frac{28}{24}) and (\frac{7}{8} = \frac{21}{24}). Therefore, (\frac{28}{24} + \frac{21}{24} = \frac{49}{24}), or (2 \frac{1}{24}) in mixed number form.
