Question

Sami cut 6 3/4 inches off a long roll of paper. if the roll is now 36 1/3 inches long, how long was the original roll of paper?​

Answer 1

(6/1)/(3/4) = (6/1)(4/3) = 24/3 = 8 cut off

(36/1)/(1/3) = (36/1)(3/1) = 108 left

8 + 108 = 116 originally

Answer 2

Answer: 43 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

All we need to do is to add

36 1/3 and 6 3/4 together

lets convert the to number to improper number and then add

36 1/3 = 109/3

6 3/4 = 27/4

109/3 + 27/4

=436 + 81 / 12

=517/12

= 43 1/12
