So when you have problems like this where there are two different fractions that dont directly go together, you find the common denominator or number on the bottom. So for these numbers it would be 16. 
You would multiply 8 by 2, and 4 by 4. Now that the denominators are the same, you would also multiply the numerator by the same amount as it's denominator. 
So now they would look like " 2 10/16 yards and 1 12/16. You now add these together to get:

4 6/16 yards. But you can't use this as an answer because it's not simplified, so you would try to get these fraction as low as possible, which in this case would look like 3/8

So the final answer would be 4 and 3/8 yards. I hope this helps :)

Answer:  $454.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Tito's weekly salary is always $ 500 per week.

But your weekly commission income depends on the sales you make. Your commissions are 55%.

If we call x the dollar amount of all sales made by Tito in a week, then his income z(x) is given by the following equation:

z (x) = 0.55x + 500

We wish that z (x) = 750.

Then we equate the equation to 750 and solve for the variable x.

0.55x + 500 = 750\\\\0.55x + 500-500 = 750-500\\\\0.55x = 250

\frac{0.55}{0.55}x = \frac{250}{0.55}

x = \$\ 454.55

Total sales made by Tito must be $454.55
