Jack has a cake and another half of a cake, Jill has 2 and 2/3rds cakes, Blake has 3 and 2/3rds of a cake, Peter has 4 and 2/3rds of a cake, and Daniel has 2 and a half cakes. How many cakes do they have in total?
1+1/2+2+2/3+3+2/3+4+2/3+2+1/2 = 6/6 (finding the least common multiple of 1, 2, and 3)+3/6+12/6+4/6+18/6+4/6+12/6+3/6= 90/6=15 cakes
