Q. Anita and her roommates ate 56\frac{5}{6} of a pint of ice cream on Friday night and 23\frac{2}{3} of a pint of ice cream on Saturday night. How many pints did they eat in all?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline_____ pints
  1. Add Fractions: Step 11: Add the fractions of ice cream eaten on Friday and Saturday.\newline56+23\frac{5}{6} + \frac{2}{3}\newlineTo add, find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 66 and 33 is 66.\newlineConvert 23\frac{2}{3} to 46\frac{4}{6}.\newlineNow add: 56+46=96\frac{5}{6} + \frac{4}{6} = \frac{9}{6}
  2. Simplify Fraction: Step 22: Simplify the fraction.\newline96\frac{9}{6} can be simplified to 32\frac{3}{2}, which is also 1121\frac{1}{2} pints.\newlineThis means they ate 1121\frac{1}{2} pints in total.
