Let
x----------------> <span>feet of yarn of Becky
y----------------> </span><span>feet of yarn of James

we know that
4 2/8------> 4 1/4--------> (4*4+1)/4-----> 17/4
1 5/8------> (1*8+5)/8-----> 13/5
x+y=4 2/8-------> x+y=17/4----> equation 1
x=1 5/8--------> x=13/5------> equation 2
substitute 2 in 1
[13/5]+y=17/4------> y=(17/4)-(13/5)----> y=[5*17-4*13]/20
y=(85-52)/20-----> y=33/20----> y=1.65-----> y=1 65/100----> y=1 13/20

the answer is
</span><span>james have 1 13/20 ft of yarn</span>

What's 4+ -1 1/3 as a fraction in simplest form
Ivenika [448]
4 + -1 1/3 

Turn 4 into an improper fraction.

4/4 is equal to 12/3. We want both 4 and 1 1/3 to have the same denominator so that they could be subtracted from each other.

New question :

12/3 + - 1 1/3

Turn {-1 1/3} into an improper fraction.

(3 × 1) + 1  = 4/3

So, -1 1/3 = -4/3

Our new question :

12/3 + - 4/3

Simplify.

12/3 - 4/3 = 8/3

Turn into a mixed number.

2 2/3

~Hope I helped!~
