Question

Daisy taped two pieces of cardboard together to make a longer piece. The length of the first piece of cardboard was 1 2/5 meters. The length of the second piece of cardboard was 4 1/5 meters. What is the total length of the two pieces of cardboard Daisy put together

Answer 1

T= total length

T=1 2/5 meters + 4 1/5 meters
add the whole #s and the fractions
T= (1+4) + (2/5 + 1/5)
T= 5 3/5 meters total

Hope this helps! :)
