<h3>Amount of sand craig and Alissa collect together at one time is 1.4 pounds</h3>

Solution:

Given that,

Craig and Alissa are building a sandcastle on the beach. They each have a bucket

Craig's bucket holds 1/2 pound of sand and Alissa's bucket holds 9/10 pound of sand

Therefore,

$Craig\ bucket = \frac{1}{2}\ pound\\\\Alissa\ bucket = \frac{9}{10}\ pound$

How much sand can craig Alissa collect together at one time

Add both, we get

$Collect\ together = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{9}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5} + \frac{9}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{5}{10} + \frac{9}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{9+5}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{14}{10} = \frac{7}{5} = 1.4\\\\In\ mixed\ fractions,\\\\Collect\ together = 1\frac{2}{5}$
