Question

Bill brought 2 1/3 boxes of carrot muffins for a bake sale. mike brought 1 3/4 boxes of apple muffins. what is the total number of boxes of muffins jill and mike brought to the bake sale?

Answer 1

There isn't enough information because we don't know the amount Jill brought. We know the amounts Bill and Mike bought, but we know nothing about Jill.

Answer 2

2 1/3 + 1 3/4 = 2 4/12 + 1 9/12 = 3 13/12 = 4 1/12

.

Answer: Bill and Mike bought 4 1/12 boxes of muffins.
