Question

Megan's family had cakes on two days. The first day, they had 2 3/4 cakes left. The second day, they had 1 1/4 cakes left. How many cakes were left in all?

Answer 1

Answer: 4 cakes left in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cakes left on first day= $2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}$

Cakes left on second day =$1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$

The number of cakes left in all=$\frac{11}{4}+\frac{5}{4}$

⇒The number of cakes left in all=$\frac{11+5}{4}=\frac{16}{4}$

Therefore, The number of cakes left in all=4
