The book 4

Mr. Kinion read 3 3/4 chapters in his book on Monday. He then read 2 4/6 more chapters on Tuesday. How many chapters has he read so far?

Correct answer:

x =  6.4167

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=3{\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}}=3+{\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}}={\displaystyle \frac{3\cdot 4+3}{4}}={\displaystyle \frac{15}{4}}=3.75 \\ b=2{\displaystyle \frac{4}{6}}=2+{\displaystyle \frac{4}{6}}={\displaystyle \frac{2\cdot 6+4}{6}}={\displaystyle \frac{16}{6}}={\displaystyle \frac{8}{3}}=2\frac{2}{3}\doteq 2.6667 \\ x=a+b=3.75+2.6667={\displaystyle \frac{77}{12}}=6\frac{5}{12}=6.4167 \end{gathered}$$
