Question

To make ribbon and bow for a hat, Stacey needs 5/6 yard of black ribbon and 2/3 yard of red ribbon. how much total ribbon does she need.

Answer 1

First make the denominators of the fractions the same by multiplying.

$\frac{2}{3}$ × $\frac{2}{2}$
=$\frac{4}{6}$

Now we just need to add the fractions together

$\frac{5}{6} + \frac{4}{6}$
= $\frac{9}{6}$

9/6 would be the answer, but it can be simplified further, then converted into decimal form.

$\frac{9}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{3}$
=$\frac{3}{2}$
=1.5 yards

Your final answer is 1.5 yards of ribbon are needed.

Answer 2

Answer:

1  1/2

Step-by-step explanation: 5/6 + 2/3 = ?  3- 3,6   6- 6  so the  six will be the denominators because is the less common number so 5/6 + 2/3 = 5/6 + 4/6 = 9/6 which can be simplify by the factor 3 which will be 3/2 or 1  1/2 .
