Question

Mrs. Suarez sold pies for a fundraiser. she sold 3 5/6 pies the first day and 1 3/6 the second day. how many pies did she sell in all. using number line

Answer 1

Answer: 5 2/6

Step-by-step explanation: 3 5/6 + 1 3/6 = 5 2/6 because you need to add the pie wholes,(3 + 1) and then you have the fractions, 5/6 + 3/6. So since all you need to make another whole is 1/6 you take it away from 3/6 and give it to 5/6 so now you have another whole. 4 wholes plus 1 new whole is 5 wholes. Since you took 1/6 away from 3/6 you now have 2/6. So 5 wholes and 2/6 were sold.

3 5/6 + 1 3/6 =

3 + 1= = 4

5/6 + 1/6 = 1

3/6 - 1/6 = 2/6

4 + 1 = 5

5 + 2/6 = 5 2/6
