Question

Bill ate 1/4 pound of trail mix on his first break during a hiking trip. On his second break, he ate 1/6 pound. How many pounds of trail mix did he eat during both breaks?

Answer 1

1/4 pound+ 1/6 pound
= 3/12 pound+ 2/12 pound
= 5/12 pound

Bill ate 5/12 pound during both breaks~

Answer 2

1/4 + 1/6 = (6+4)/24 = 10/24 = 5/12
