Answer:

The correct result would be 3 3/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you would like to find the quotient of 2 1/4 and 5/8, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2 1/4 = 9/4

2 1/4 / 5/8 = 9/4 / 5/8 = 9/4 * 8/5 = 18/5 = 3 3/5

<u>Given:</u>

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = ? \ }$

A fraction represents part of a whole.
A fraction consists of a numerator and a denominator. i.e., $\boxed{ \ \frac{numerator}{denominator} \ }$ .
The numerator = the number of equal parts of a whole.
The denominator = the total number of parts that make up said whole.

From the problems above, the denominator or the bottom numbers are still different. We use the Least Common Multiple (or LCM) to equalize the denominator.

Multiples of 3: $\boxed{ \ \{3, 6, 9, 12, 15, ... \} \ }$
Multiples of 4: $\boxed{ \ \{4, 8, 12, 16, ... \} \ }$
Multiples of 6: $\boxed{ \ \{6, 12, 18, ... \} \ }$

Hence, the LCM for 3, 4, and 6 is 12.

We change the denominator for each fraction to 12.

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{6} \rightarrow \frac{multiply \ by \ 2}{multiply \ by \ 2} \rightarrow \frac{2}{12} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ \frac{2}{3} \rightarrow \frac{multiply \ by \ 4}{multiply \ by \ 4} \rightarrow \frac{8}{12} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{4} \rightarrow \frac{multiply \ by \ 3}{multiply \ by \ 3} \rightarrow \frac{3}{12} \ }$

Then we continue adding fractions.

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{12} + \frac{8}{12} + \frac{3}{12} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \boxed{ \ \frac{13}{12} \ } \ }$

Thus, the result is $\boxed{ \ \frac{13}{12} \ or \ 1\frac{1}{12}\ }$

drek231 [11]

Hello!

To calculate the sale price of the coat, we can simply multiply 150 by .40, then subtract the product from 150.

150 × .40 = 60
150 - 60 = 90

The sale price of the coat is $90.
