Question

Tegan bought 1 1/6 metres of ribbon. She needs 2/5 metres to wrap her brothers present and 3/4 metres to wrap her sisters present. Did she buy enough ribbon?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 + 3/4 = [2(4) + 3(5)]/20

= 23/20 = 1 3/20

1 3/20 = 1 9/60

1 1/6 = 1 10/60

1 1/6 > 1 3/20
