Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So if mischievous grows 8 7/12 inches every week, you have to multiply 8 7/12 times 4 (for the 4 weeks).
8 7/12 x 4= 34 4/12
Then add that to the snakes current length.
34 4/12+ 17 2/9=///
1) Change the fractions to have common denominators
4/12 x 3= 12/36
2/9 x 4= 8/36
2) Add. 8+12= 20. Denominators stay the same. 20/36.
3) Add the whole numbers. 34+17=51.
4) Put it all together. 51 20/36.
5) Simplify the fractions. 20 and 36 can be divided by 4.
20/4=5 36/4=9, 5/9
So, 34 4/12+17 2/9= 51 5/9
Mischievous will be 51 5/9 inches after 4 weeks.
To convert into feet, divided 51 by 12.
