2 1/8 + 2 1/8

1 answer

To add these mixed fractions, we first need to convert them into improper fractions.

2 1/8 can be written as (2 * 8 + 1) / 8 = 17/8.

Now we can add the two fractions:

17/8 + 17/8 = (17 + 17) / 8 = 34/8.

Simplifying this fraction further by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2, we get:

34/8 = 17/4.

Therefore, 2 1/8 + 2 1/8 equals 17/4.
