Question

Vera is looking for vegetables to cook for dinner tonight. She purchases 2 5/8 pounds of baby potatoes and 1 1/2 pounds of green beans. If she uses a $10 bill to pay, what will her change be?​

Answer 1

2 5/8 + 1 1/2

3 + 5/8 + 1/2

find the LCM of 2 and 8

3 + 5/8 + 4/8

3 + 9/8

3 + 1 1/8

4 + 1/8

4 1/8

$10 - $ 4 1/8

= 9 8/8 - 4 1/8

= $ 5 7/8
