This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.
Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.
2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.
2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20
14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>
Answer:
12 is to the right of -15 on a number line.

No matter where the negative sign is, the product will always be negative, so is the number itself.
13.2(-8.1)=-106.92
twice of that would be -213.84.
first do the multiplying, then the adding(the adding of negative numbers, so it would be basically subtracting).
In this question, let us first note down all the important information's that have been provided in the question.
The number of people that Adam is cooking for = 14
Amount of turkey required per person = 3/4 pounds
Now
Total amount of turkey required by Adam to cook for 14 people = (3/4) * 14
= 21/2
So 21/2 pound of turkey is required by Adam to cook for 14 people. This weight of turkey has to be converted to gram first and then to kilogram.
We already know
1 lb = 450 g
Then
21/2 lb = 450 * (21/2) gram
= 225 * 21
= 4721 gram
Now again we know
1000 g = 1 kg
4721 gm = (4721/1000) kg
= 4.721 kg
So Adam needs to have a turkey weighing 4.721 gram to cook for the 14 people. I hope the procedure is clear to you.
