Question

Please help me I will give brainliest to whoever is right. Latasha went to the fabric store and bought 3 1/4 yards of red fabric and 3 1/2 yards of blue fabric. How many yards of fabric did Latasha buy altogether?
A student solved the problem this way: 3 1/4 + 3 1/2 = 3 1/4 + 3 2/4 = 6 3/4

Latasha bought 6 3/4 yards of fabric.

Use a similar strategy to solve this problem.

Casey went to the fabric store and bought 2 2/3 yards of yellow fabric, 3 1/9 yards of purple fabric, and a pair of 5 1/5 inch scissors.

How many yards of fabric did Casey buy altogether?

A. 5 7/9 yards

B. 5 5/9 yards

C. 5 2/3 yards

D. 5 1/3 yards

Answer 1

2 2/3=8/3 or 24/9
3 1/9=28/9
Add all the result together to get;
52/9 or 5 7/9. As a result, the answer will be A. Hope it help!
