Mariano is solving 1 2/6 + 6 3/6. What is the result?(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the addition problem 1 2/6 + 6 3/6, we first need to convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions:

1 2/6 = 6/6 + 2/6 = 8/6
6 3/6 = 6/6 + 3/6 = 9/6

Now we can add the two fractions:

8/6 + 9/6 = (8 + 9)/6 = 17/6

Therefore, the result is 17/6.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again.

To solve the addition problem 1 2/6 + 6 3/6, we need to add the whole numbers separately and then add the fractions separately.

1 + 6 = 7

Next, we add the fractions:

2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6

So, the result is 7 5/6.
