Given situation: Reggie picked 3 3/4 quarts of blueberries and 4 1/3 quarts of raspberries at a fruit farm. Question: About how many total of berries did he pick?Since we have 2 fractions with different denominator, let us first convert it to have the same denominator then add.=> 3 3/4 = convert to improper fraction=> (4 * 3 = 12 + 3 = 15) = 15/4Second Fraction=> 4 1/3 = convert to improper fractoin also=> (3 * 4 = 12 + 1 = 13) = 13/3Now, let's find the less common denominator=> 15/4 + 13/3 = 45/12 + 52/12=> 45/12 + 52/12 = 97 / 12=> 8 8/100
