Question

Chantal had 1 4 pound of ham and 1 8  pound of turkey to make sandwiches. She said she had 3 8  pound of sandwich meat altogether. Is Chantel's answer reasonable?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, she has the exact right amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if there is the right measurement, give both of the fractions common denominators and add them together.

1/4 + 1/8

2/8 + 1/8

3/8

Since that matches her answer, we know she was correct
