Answer: 5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The x's denote the insects measured so the longest insects would be of lengths:
1³/₄ inch, 1³/₄ inch and 1¹/₂ inch.
Adding them together would require converting them to improper fractions first:
7/4, 7/4, 3/2
Pick a denominator that is both denominators' lowest common multiple = 4
Adding them:
Divide the LCM by the denominator of the fraction and multiply the result by the numerator:
= (7 + 7 + 6) / 4
= 20/4
= 5 inches
