QuestionWrite two mixed numbers that have a sum of 3 .

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Mixed numbers consist of an integer part and a fractional part.
2. The sum of the two mixed numbers should equal 3.

STEP 2

1. Define the mixed numbers.
2. Set up an equation for their sum.
3. Solve for the mixed numbers.

STEP 3

Define the two mixed numbers. Let the first mixed number be $a + \frac{b}{c}$ and the second mixed number be $d + \frac{e}{f}$ .

STEP 4

Set up an equation for their sum:
$\left(a + \frac{b}{c}\right) + \left(d + \frac{e}{f}\right) = 3$

STEP 5

Choose values for $a, b, c, d, e,$ and $f$ such that the equation holds true. For simplicity, let's choose $a = 1$ , $b = 1$ , $c = 2$ , $d = 1$ , $e = 1$ , and $f = 2$ .
$1 + \frac{1}{2} + 1 + \frac{1}{2} = 2 + 1 = 3$
The two mixed numbers that sum to 3 are:
$1 \frac{1}{2} \text{ and } 1 \frac{1}{2}$
