1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.727
Here is the problem: 7 over 6 plus 3 over 6.

2
00:00:04.177 --> 00:00:08.055
Exact arithmetic with fractions (results kept in lowest terms).

3
00:00:08.855 --> 00:00:14.683
Rewrite both fractions with the least common denominator. The LCD of 6 and 2 is 6.

4
00:00:15.133 --> 00:00:17.339
Add the numerators and keep the denominator.

5
00:00:17.789 --> 00:00:22.143
Simplify. Divide numerator and denominator by their GCF, 2.

6
00:00:22.593 --> 00:00:24.718
Final answer in lowest terms.

7
00:00:25.518 --> 00:00:27.538
So the answer is 5 over 3.

8
00:00:27.988 --> 00:00:41.026
Fractions are combined over a common denominator for addition and subtraction, multiplied straight across, and divided by multiplying by the reciprocal. The result is reduced by the greatest common factor.

9
00:00:41.826 --> 00:00:47.933
Decimal check: 5 over 3 approximately 1.666666667.

10
00:00:48.383 --> 00:00:51.007
As a mixed number: 1 2 over 3.
