Respuesta :

[tex]8 \frac{1}{2} +1 \frac{2}{6} [/tex] is your problem

You need to convert the denominators so that they are the same

But aside the whole numbers for now so get [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex] and multiply both sides by 3 so that it is [tex] \frac{3}{6} [/tex]

Now get the mixed fractions and add them

[tex]8 \frac{1}{2} [/tex] + [tex]1 \frac{2}{6} = 9 \frac{5}{6} [/tex]


Answer: [tex]9 \frac{5}{6} [/tex]
First write out the problem, 
8 1/2-1 2/6
Next find a common denominator, because 2 goes into 6, 3 times are common denominator is going to be 6.
So now we take 1*3=3 and 2*3=6 = 8 3/6 
Now Add
8 3/6+1 2/6=9 5/6
Giving us are end answer of 9 5/6
