(8/2) + (2/3) = 14/3 = 4 2/3
Add: 8/
2 + 2/3 = 8 · 3/2 · 3 + 2 · 2/3 · 2 = 24/6 + 4/6 = 24 + 4/6 = 28/6 = 2 · 14/2 · 3 = 14/3
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(2, 3) = 6. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 2 × 3 = 6. In the next intermediate step, , cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 14/3
.
In words - eight halfs plus two thirds = fourteen thirds.
