Answer:
148/15 or 9 13/15
Step-by-step explanation:
7 2/3 + 2 1/5
7 2/3 needs to be translated into a bigger fraction by taking 7 and multiplying it with the denominator and then adding onto the numerator.
7 2/3 = 23/3
The same goes for 2 1/5.
2 1/5 = 11/5
Now we have 23/3+11/5 so we need to find a common denominator which would be fifteen.
23/3 + 11/5
23/3 x 5/5 = 115/15
11/5 x 3/3 = 33/15
115/15 + 33/15 = 148/15
The value of 7 2/3 + 2 1/5 is 9 13/15
The lowest common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15. Therefore, 7 2/3 + 2 1/5 will be calculated thus:
= 7 2/3 + 2 1/5
= [7 + 2/3× 15] + [2 1/5 × 15]
= 7 10/15 + 2 3/15
= 9 13/15
In conclusion, the value of the fraction 7 2/3 + 2 1/5 is 9 13/15
