I agree with the others who said to work from bottom to top. First, you add 3 and 1/3 and then add 3 to 1 over 3 and 1/3. So, then you find a common denominator to add. The pattern continues...I don't think that Sean and Sam were right about adding 3 and 1. Instead, I think you should add what I did because you have to go by the order of operations and fractions(dividing) come before adding.
You definetly have to go from the bottom to the top. Also, if you have (x=a number) x over x/x, that is the same thing as x divided by x/x or multiplied by the recipricle. After that I'm stuck. I got 3 3/10 (three and three tenths), but I don't think thats right.
Those of you who said to go from the bottom to the top are correct! At the bottom is the problem: 1 over 3 + 1/3..which is 1 over 10/3 which means 1 divided by 10/3 which is 3/10. Now you have a new problem with 3/10 in it. The new problem is 1 over 3 + 3/10 which is 1 over 33/10 which means 1 divided by 33/10 which is equal to 10/33. ANSWER: 33/10.

i have no clue what to do
This is a problem that is classified as a repeated operation.
What operation is suggested?
I dont get it at all either
i think you have to go from the bottom to the top
is the who thing one fraction?
*whole
you have to go from the bottom to the top so like 3 plus 1 third then 3 plus whatever the answer to that is and then.. you hvae the answer
i think you just go from bottom to top making each thing an improper fraction until it equals a normal fraction...
you going to have to work you way up from the bottom. so you would do 3+1/3 the do 3+1 and divide them you get the answer i think... 1

i think first you have to add 3 and 1/3 so then you have 3+ 1 over 3 and a 1/3
i dont get it at all i know u have to go from bottom to top, but i dont even like no what the problemm says. its very confusing. how do you read it?

I understand the pattern, but when it adds the 1 and the 1/3. Im just making sure, 3+1/3 divided by.....and thats where i get lost...
YOU ARE ALL ON THE RIGHT TRACK!
You go from the bottom and this problem is classified as a repeated division problem.
i also think yiou have to go from bottom to top and agree with sam. YAY!!!! and remember you can make whole numbers into fractions by adding 1 under!
i am stuck now!
you start from the bottom and go to the top
for example you start at 3 plus 1/3 which is under 3+1/ whatever you got.
IM really confused i know you have to go from the bottom to the top but what are the steps to get to the answer.
i think you go from bottom to top so three plus one third then three plus one then plus 1
elan is right because you have to go from bottom to top or there is no pissible way to add them together if yo dont know the original dinominator
I think it's 1/3/2/3s if you can understand that because its 1/3 then thats over 3/1/3
you DO have to work your way up from the bottom. I think Sean is right.
I think to solve this problem you need to go from bottom to top. For example, 3 + 1/3..and work your way up the problem until you reach the answer
Those of you who said to go from the bottom to the top are correct!
At the bottom is the problem:
1 over 3 + 1/3..which is 1 over 10/3 which means 1 divided by 10/3 which is 3/10.
Now you have a new problem with 3/10 in it.
The new problem is 1 over 3 + 3/10 which is 1 over 33/10 which means 1 divided by 33/10 which is equal to 10/33.
ANSWER: 33/10.
If you are having trouble, use a piece of paper. Hint...When P is folded onto Q, where does R fold onto?
