you are adding 3 2/3+2 2/3 using fraction strips explain how you rename the fraction part of the problem

Sagot :

We have to add 3 2/3 + 2 2/3 using fraction strips. 3 2/3 and 2 2/3 are the mixed numbers. The mixed numbers consists of a whole number and a fraction. If we want to add those numbers we shoukld change them into improper fractions: 3 2/3 = ( 3 * 3 + 2 ) / 3 = 11 / 3; 2 2/3 = ( 2 * 3 + 2 ) / 2 = 8 / 3. Finally: 11 / 3 + 8 / 3 = ( 11 + 8 ) / 3 = 20 / 3 = 6 2/3. Answer: You reneme it turning them into improper fractions.
For this case we have the following expression:
 [tex]3 \frac{2}{3} + 2\frac{2}{3} [/tex]
 We can Rewrite the expression, as the sum of fractions with the same denominator.
 Rewriting the expression we have:
 [tex] \frac{9+2}{3} + \frac{6+2}{3} [/tex]
 [tex] \frac{11}{3} + \frac{8}{3} [/tex]
 Then, adding both fractions we have:
 [tex] \frac{11+8}{3} = \frac{19}{3} [/tex]
 Answer:
 
The result of the given expression is:
 
[tex] \frac{19}{3} [/tex]
