Full solution

Q. (vi) 223+312 2 \frac{2}{3}+3 \frac{1}{2}
  1. Convert to Improper Fractions: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.\newline223=2+23=63+23=832\frac{2}{3} = 2 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{3},\newline312=3+12=62+12=723\frac{1}{2} = 3 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{6}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2},
  2. Add Improper Fractions: Add the two improper fractions.\newlineTo add 83\frac{8}{3} and 72\frac{7}{2}, find a common denominator, which is 66.\newline83=(8×23×2)=166\frac{8}{3} = \left(\frac{8\times2}{3\times2}\right) = \frac{16}{6},\newline72=(7×32×3)=216\frac{7}{2} = \left(\frac{7\times3}{2\times3}\right) = \frac{21}{6},\newline166+216=376\frac{16}{6} + \frac{21}{6} = \frac{37}{6},
  3. Simplify Result: Simplify the result if possible. 376\frac{37}{6} is already in its simplest form,
