Question

Niki donated 4 5/8 pounds of beans to the food drive and Annie donated 3 2/3 pounds of beans to the food drive. Together, how much food did they donate?

Answer 1

Answer: 8⁷/₂₄ pounds of beans.

Explanation:

First convert both fractions to improper fractions.

4 ⁵/₈ = 37/8

3²/₃ = 11/3

Find the lowest common multiple of 3 and 8 which is 24.

Use 24 as the denominator and add the fractions by multiplying the numerator by the result you get from dividing 24 by the denominator:

$= \frac{111 + 88}{24} \\\\= \frac{199}{24} \\\\= 8\frac{7}{24} pounds of beans$
