Question

10 1/16ft + 8 3/8ft +1/2 ft

Answer 1

Answer:

18 15/16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

what is the request here ?

to do the additions and bring all to one summary result of ft ?

I base my answer on this assumption.

10 1/16 = 161/16

8 3/8 = 67/8

1/2 = 1/2

note let's bring everything to 16th, so that we can actually add them.

161/16

67/8 = 134/16

1/2 = 8/16

161/16 + 134/16 + 8/16 = 303/16 = 18 15/16

cross check :

add all whole numbers first, and then add the remaining fractions too (need to bring them to 16th too).

10 + 8 = 18

1/16 + 3/8 + 1/2 = 1/16 + 6/16 + 8/16 = 15/16

together, 18 15/16

yeah, it is the same.
