This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.
Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.
2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.
2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20
14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>
Answer:
5.781 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Mr. Jimerson records the amount of snowfall that the local area recieves, recording the following data: 12 am-1am: 0.3 inches | 1 am-2am: 0.8 inches | 2 am-3am: 1.36 inches | 3 am-4am: 2.019, if the total amount of snowfall at 7am is 7.8 inches, to determine how much snow fell between 4 am-7am the following calculation must be performed:
7.8 - 2.019 = X
5.781 = X
Therefore, since the amount of snow accumulated at 7 am was 7.8 inches, the snowfall between 4 and 7 am was 5.781 inches.
