Answer:
The answer is 7 1/24
Step-by-step explanation:
27/8 + 11/3
I multipled 27/8 by 3/3 (needed the 8 to become 24)
I multiplied 11/3 by 8/8 (needed the 3 to become 24)
We get:
81/24 + 88/24
Then you add
169/24
Simplify
7 1/24
Besides just using the math in everyday life, it is also used in newspapers.
5 roach motels per square yd
A = L * W
A = 7 * 4
A = 21 square yds
so if they set out 5 roach motels per square yd, then they need to set out :
5 * 21 = 105 roach motels <==
