Answer:

The number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together is  5\frac{1}{4} \ \ Or \ \  5.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of basket picked by Harper = 3.5

Number of basket picked by cooper = 4\frac{1}{4}

We need to find the number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together.

Solution:

Now we can see that one number is in decimal form and other number is in mixed fraction form so we will convert both the number in simplest fraction form and then solve the same.

Number of basket picked by Harper = 3.5

Now if we divide 7 from from 2 we get the answer as 3.5 so we can say that;

3.5 can be rewritten as \frac{7}{2}

Number of basket picked by Harper = \frac{7}{2}

Number of basket picked by cooper = 4\frac{1}{4}

4\frac{1}{4} can be rewritten as \frac{17}{4}

Number of basket picked by cooper = \frac{17}{4}

Now we can say that;

to find the number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together we will add Number of basket picked by Harper and Number of basket picked by cooper.

framing in equation form we get;

number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together = \frac{7}{2}+\frac{17}{4}

now we will use LCM to make the denominator common we get;

number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together = \frac{7\times2}{2\times2}+\frac{17\times1}{4\times1}=\frac{14}{4}+\frac{17}{4}

Now denominators are common so we will solve the numerators we get;

number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together = \frac{14+7}{4} = \frac{21}{4} \ \ Or\ \ 5\frac{1}{4} \ \ Or \ \  5.25

Hence the number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together is  5\frac{1}{4} \ \ Or \ \  5.25.
