Question

$$\frac{8}{4}+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Evaluate

$\frac{13}{3}\approx 4.333333333$

Solution Steps

Divide $8$ by $4$ to get $2$.

$$2+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Convert $2$ to fraction $\frac{4}{2}$.

$$\frac{4}{2}+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Since $\frac{4}{2}$ and $\frac{3}{2}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{4+3}{2}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Add $4$ and $3$ to get $7$.

$$\frac{7}{2}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Least common multiple of $2$ and $6$ is $6$. Convert $\frac{7}{2}$ and $\frac{5}{6}$ to fractions with denominator $6$.

$$\frac{21}{6}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Since $\frac{21}{6}$ and $\frac{5}{6}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{21+5}{6}$$

Add $21$ and $5$ to get $26$.

$$\frac{26}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{26}{6}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{13}{3}$$
