Question

Natalie and John are both saving coins in jars for a rainy day. Natalie currently has 1 1/8 jars of coins, and John has 9/14 of a jar of coins. If John gets all his coins to Natalie, how many jars of coins would she have all together?

Answer 1

Answer:

Natalie will have $1\frac{43}{56}$ jars of coins all together after receiving John's coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Coins Natalie have = $1\frac{1}{8}$ jars of coins

Coins John have = $\frac{9}{14}$ jars of coins

When John will give all his coins to Natalie.

Total coins Natalie have = Her coins + John's coins

Total coins Natalie have = $1\frac{1}{8}+\frac{9}{14}$

Total coins = $\frac{9}{8}+\frac{9}{14}$

Total coins =$\frac{63+36}{56}=\frac{99}{56}$

Total coins = $1\frac{43}{56}$

Hence,

Natalie will have $1\frac{43}{56}$ jars of coins all together after receiving John's coins.
