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

Natalie will have
`1(43)/(56)` jars of coins all together after receiving John's coins.

Explanation:

Given that:

Coins Natalie have =
`1(1)/(8)` jars of coins

Coins John have =
`(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(1)/(8)+(9)/(14)`

Total coins =
`(9)/(8)+(9)/(14)`

Total coins =
`(63+36)/(56)=(99)/(56)`

Total coins =
`1(43)/(56)`

Hence,

Natalie will have
`1(43)/(56)` jars of coins all together after receiving John's coins.
