Perform the indicated operation. 10 3/7 + 19 5/9

DanielleElmas [232]

Given expression is

$10 \frac{3}{7} + 19 \frac{5}{9}$

Now convert mixed fraction as improper fraction as

$10 \frac{3}{7} + 19 \frac{5}{9} = \frac{10*7 + 3}{7} + \frac{19*9+5}{9}$
                                                         $= \frac{73}{7} + \frac{176}{9}$
                                                          $= \frac{73*9 + 176 * 7}{63}$
                                                         $= \frac{657 + 1232}{63} = \frac{1889}{63}$
Now we can convert $\frac{1889}{63 } = 29 \frac{62}{63}$

So the answer is $29 \frac{62}63}$

Does the point (9.5, 144) make sense in this context? Explain

Stolb23 [73]

No, (9.5, 144) does not make sense because there is no point of 9.5 and when you divide the ounces of water by the flavoring packets you end up with 12, and if you were to simplify that it would end up with 1 flavor packet and 12 ounces of water.
