Answer:

25/24 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to find the total weight, we should add the weights together

3/8+2/3

To add, we need a common denominator

The least common denominator of 8 and 3 is 24

To get a denominator of 24, multiply 3/8 by 3/3, and 2/3 by 8/8

3/8*3/3=9/24

2/3*8/8=16/24

Now, we have a common denominator and can add

9/24+16/24

Add the numerators, and leave the denominator as 24

25/24=1 1/24= 1.04166666

The total weight for both packages is 25/24 pounds

You take the amount paid and divide it by the amount of cheese. So 10.50 divided by 2.5 equals 4.2 and 12.60 divided by 3 equals 4.2 meaning that one pound of cheese costs $4.20

Adult tickets for the zoo are $10.75 each and child tickets are $5.50 each. How much would a family with two adults and three ch

cupoosta [38]

You'd start off by adding the 2 adults together (10.75 + 10.75) which would equal 21.50 dollars. Now you take the three kids together (5.50 +5.50+5.50) which would equal 16.50 dollars.
Now you just take the 16.50+21.50 and add those together---- 38 dollars
