Question 69674: How would you solve this:
n + 3 5/6 = 5 1/3
Answer by checkley75(3666)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! N+3 5/6=5 1/3 NEED TO CONVERT THE MIXED FRACTION TO IMPROPER FRACTIONS THUS:
N+(3*6+5)/6=(5*3+1)/3 NOW WE SET N EQUAL TO THESE TWO FRACTIONS
N=(15+1)/3-(18+3)/6
N=16/3-23/6 NOW FIND A COMMON DENOMINATOR WHICH IS 6
N=(16*2-23)/6
N=(32-23)/6
N=9/6
N=1.5 ANSWER
PROOF
1 1/2+3 5/6=5 1/3
3/2+23/6=16/3
(3*3+23)/6=(16*2)/6
(9+23)/6=32/6
32/6=32/6
