x = 2 1/2 + (5/6 x 1 2/5)
convert the 1 2/5 to a fraction in 1/5 only
x = 2 1/2 + (5/6 x 7/5)
separate the 5 from the 1/6
x = 2 1/2 + (5 x 7/5 x 1/6)
5 x 7/5 = 7/1, i.e. the 5's cancel each other out.
x = 2 1/2 + (7 x 1/6)
7 x 1/6 = 7/6
x = 2 1/2 + 7/6
convert the 2 1/2 to a fraction in terms of 1/6, i.e multiply the 1/2 by 3/3 => 3/6 and the whole number by 6 and add them together
x = 15/6 + 7/6
finally add the two fractions
x = 22/6
and reduce....
x = 3 4/6
....to the simplest fraction
x = 3 2/3
QED
Five sixths.
1 1/6
4/5 plus 5/6 is 24/30 plus 25/30 which is 49/30 which is 1 19/30ths which is 1.633333...
to get this answer you need to turn them both into sixths and add them 1 thied is 2 sixths and 1 half is 3 sixths add them and you get5 sixths,which leaves 1 sixth to be the answer.The answer is 1 sixth.
(2/5) + (1/6) + (1/3) + (5/6) + (7/10) =(12/30) + (5/30) + (10/30) + (25/30) + (21/30) = 73/30 = 2 and 13/30
1 21/30
yes, because three sixths is a half, cause three plus three is six, not five.
Five sixths.
1 1/6
One half plus one third equals five sixths or about .8333333.
One half is three sixths and one-third is two sixths. 3+2=5
3 and five sixths.
Fourteen.
