Add 3 2 and 5 3 using the number line.

The given rational numbers are 3 2 and 5 3 . We know that, If the denominators of the given rational numbers are different, make it same by taking L.C.M. L.C.M of 2 , 3 = 6 3 2 = 3 × 3 2 × 3 = 9 6 5 3 = 5 × 2 3 × 2 = 10 6 Divide the distance between 0 and 1 into 6 equal parts, 1 and 2 into 6 equal parts since the denominator of the rational number is 6 . Now, 9 6 + 10 6 = 16 6 Therefore, A represents sum 16 6 on the number line.
