Answer:
9 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Turn mixed numbers into improper fractions.
3[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{23}{6}[/tex]
5[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{17}{3}[/tex]
Make the denominator the same. The denominator would be 6. Multiply 3 by 2 and 17 by 2.
[tex]\frac{17}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{34}{6}[/tex]
Add the two fractions together.
[tex]\frac{23}{6} + \frac{34}{6} = \frac{57}{6}[/tex]
Turn back into a mixed number.
[tex]9\frac{3}{6}[/tex]
Simplify.
[tex]9\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
