Question

Jose purchased 4/9 pound of peanut and 7/11 pounds of raisins find the total weight of his purchase

Answer 1

Answer:

The total weight of his purchase is 1.08 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total weight of his purchase, we sum the weight of each of his purchases.

He purchased:

4/9 pound of peanut.

7/11 pounds of raisins

Total:

The least common multiple between 9 and 11 is 99.

Then

$\frac{4}{9} + \frac{7}{11} = \frac{11*4 + 9*7}{99} = \frac{107}{99} = 1.08$

The total weight of his purchase is 1.08 pounds
