First convert the numbers to get the same denominator
1/3=4/12
5/6=10/12
5/12
Then add them all together
4/12+10/12+5/12= 19/12
Then reduce
1 7/12
Your answer is 1 ton and 7/12 of a ton

Answer:

Weight = 1 and \frac{7}{12} Ton

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight of the rock is calculated by adding the three fractions.

Weight = \frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}+\frac{5}{12}

As they are different denominators, we look for a common denominator that is the Least Common Multiple (LCM).

Then, for each term, the LCM is divided by the denominator of the original fraction and multiplied by the numerator.

Weight = \frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}+\frac{5}{12}

Weight = \frac{(12/3*1) + (12/6*5) + (12/12*5)}{12}

Weight = \frac{4+10+5}{12}

Weight = \frac{19}{12}=1.5833 Ton

Or

Weight = \frac{19}{12}

Weight = \frac{12+7}{12}

Weight = \frac{12}{12}+\frac{7}{12}

Weight = 1+\frac{7}{12}

Weight = 1 and \frac{7}{12} Ton

Hope this helps!

Tatami mats are used as a floor covering in Japan. one possible layout uses four identical rectangular mats and one square mat.
Basile [38]
So by definition, area is equal to the length (x) times the width (y). The area of the square mat is = x × y, or xy
If the area of<span> the rectangular mat is twice that of the square mat, the area of the rectangular mat would have to be = 2 </span>× x × y<span>
This can be written as 2x </span>× y, making the length of the rectangular mat twice that of the square mat's length, and the width the same as the square mat's width.<span>
