Mia uses 1/5 of a bag of gravel in the morning and 11/12 of a bag in the afternoon and how much gravel does she use in one day

wariber [46]

Answer:

She used 67/60 of a bag of gravel in one day.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must get a common denominator so we can add the two fractions.

1/5 = 12/60

11/12 = 55/60

Now we can add and get 67/60!

She used 67/60 of a bag of gravel in one day.
