how do i work out 1 1/2 + 11/16 + 2/1?

First:

Convert 1 1/2 into a top-heavy fraction instead of a mixed number. It's 3/2.

You now have 3/2 + 11/16 + 2/1

Find the least common denominator (LCD). To add them together, you need to find the denominator they all have in common. In this case, it's 16.

3/2 = 24/16.
2/1= 32/16.

You now have 24/16 + 11/16 + 32/16.

What do 24, 11, and 32 add up to? 67. Your answer is 67/16, or 4 3/16.

Okay?

24/16 + 11/16 + 32/16
77/16
4 13/16

1 1/2 + 11/16 + 2/1
= 1 1/2 + 11/16 + 2
= 1 (8/8) * (1/2) + 11/16 + 2 (* = multiply)
= 1 8/16 + 11/16 + 2
= (1 + 2) + (8/16 + 11/16)
= 3 + 19/16
= 3 19/16
= 4 3/16

1 1/2 =3/2 = 24/16
2/1= 32/16

So. adding the three together, you get:
67/16.
If you want to convert it to mixed fraction, then you will get:
4 3/16.

P.S. For this type of questions, find equivalent fractions of that particular fraction so that the denominators are the same. After that, all you have to do is add the numerators together and you get your answer.

P.P.S. 2/1 = 2

Hope I helped.:)

convert them so they all have the same denominators.
1 1/2 to 24/16
11/16 stays 11/16
2/1 to 32/16
add together, and get 67/16
4 3/16 is your answer

(1 1/2) + (11 / 16) + (2 / 1) = 4.1875

find a common denominator. first of all, 2/1=2 +1 1/2=3 1/2
1/2=8/16 and 8/16+11/16=19/16
19/16=1 3/16
+3= 4 3/16
so ur answer is 4 3/16...i think

1 1/2 + 11/16 + 2/1
= 3/2 + 11/16 +2
=(3*8 + 11 + 2*16)/16
=(24+11+32)/16
=67/16

change them all to fractions with common denominators

24/16 +11/16 + 32/16

1 1/2 = 3/2

3/2 + 11/16 + 2/1 find a common denominator which is 16

24/16 + 11/16 + 32/16 add the numerators

67/16

this can be simplified to 4 3/16
