Question

If Levi eats 1/5 of pie, Travis eats 1/4 of the same pie, and Delaney eats 2/7 of the same pie, what fraction of the pie did they eat altogether

Answer 1

ANSWER

Since the word altogether which is the key word means the sum so we will add all the fractions i.e

= 1/5 + 1/4 + 2/7

LCM of 5,4 and 7 = 140

= ⅕×140 + ¼×140 + ²/⁷×140

140

= 28 + 35 + 40

140

= 103

140

Therefore the total fraction is 103

140
