Aidan was busy doing his math assignments when he decided he needed a snack. He started off with a sprite, which contains 1 1/3 ounces of sugar. After that he wanted something more solid, so he grabbed a pack of Reese's Peanut cups, which have 0.75 ounces of sugar. Next, he still wasn't done with his math and he decided that, since it was cold outside, what he really needed was some hot cocoa. So, he made himself a packet of Swiss Miss, which was 0.4 ounces of sugar. To go with the Swiss Miss, he grabbed a packet of m&ms, which contains 1 1/4 ounces of sugar. How much sugar has Aidan consumed while doing his math assignments?​

Answer:


(56)/(15)

Explanation:

1 1/3 + .75 + 0.4 + 1 1/4

can be converted to:

80/60 + 45/60 + 24/60 + 75/60


(80 + 45 + 24 + 75)/(60) =
(224)/(60)


(224)/(60) =
(56)/(15)
