2 1/2 + 3 1/3

Answer 1

To add 2 1/2 and 3 1/3, you first need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6.

Rewriting the fractions with the common denominator:
2 1/2 = 5/2
3 1/3 = 10/3

Now, add the fractions:
5/2 + 10/3

To add these fractions, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 6. Rewriting the fractions with the common denominator:

(5/2) * (3/3) = 15/6
(10/3) * (2/2) = 20/6

Now, add the fractions:
15/6 + 20/6 = (15 + 20)/6 = 35/6

Therefore, 2 1/2 + 3 1/3 = 35/6.
