Question

A 4 3/4-foot pipe has a 3 1/4-foot pipe fitted to it. How long is the new pipe?

Answer 1

So first, add the whole numbers. In this case, it is 3+4=7. 

Now, add the 3/4 to the 1/4. 3/4 + 1/4 = 4/4

4/4 is the same as 1. So we add this new number to the whole numbers. 

7 + 1  = 8. So, our final answer is 8 feet. 

Answer 2

1/4 is the anwers because you need to reduce the fraction
