1 answer:
Answer:
The key word ''in all'' means total so this calls for addition so we need to add all fractions first to get our answer.
- First we need to add all whole numbers
- next we need to find the LCD of all fractions which is 4
- next we change the denominators into the LCD (4)
- next we join them all together so now it will be 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 2 over 4
- since 2 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 2 equals 11 we simplify it to 3 + 11/4
- now we make 11/4 to a mixed fraction which is 2 3/4
- now we add 3 + 2 to make 5 and keep the fraction
Answer: Joanna bought 5 3/4 pounds of fruit in all.
