Question

How do you solve `6\frac { 2} { 9} + ( 4\times 1\frac { 1} { 6} )`?

Answer 1

`10 8/9`

Explanation:

We do the bracket first:

`4xx1 1/6=cancel4^2/1xx7/cancel6^3=14/3`

`6 2/9 + 14/3`

Let's put the left fraction into improper form and set the right fraction to denominator 9:

`56/9+14/3(3/3)=56/9+42/9=98/9=10 8/9`
