Question

level 157
which number is \\(\frac{5}{6}\\) more than \\(1\frac{2}{6}\\)?
(there is a number line from 0 to 3 with a red arrow pointing to \\(1\frac{2}{6}\\) between 1 and 2)
select an answer
a \\(1\frac{7}{12}\\)
b \\(2\frac{1}{6}\\)
c \\(\frac{3}{6}\\)
d \\(2\frac{1}{12}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed number to improper fraction

We have \(1\frac{2}{6}\), converting it to an improper fraction: \(1\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1\times6 + 2}{6}=\frac{8}{6}\)

Step2: Add \(\frac{5}{6}\) to the fraction

Now we add \(\frac{5}{6}\) to \(\frac{8}{6}\): \(\frac{8}{6}+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{8 + 5}{6}=\frac{13}{6}\)

Step3: Convert back to mixed number

Convert \(\frac{13}{6}\) to a mixed number: \(\frac{13}{6}=2\frac{1}{6}\) (since \(13\div6 = 2\) with a remainder of \(1\))

Answer:

B. \(2\frac{1}{6}\)
