Question

Avery is making a necklace for her mothers birthday. She uses 1 1/20 strings of black beads and 1 4/5 more strings of gray beads than black beads. How many strings of gray beads did she use?

.

Answer 1

She used 2 17/20 strings of grey beads

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of grey beads used

To calculate this, we simply add up the black beads number with the number of grey beads

Mathematically, that will be;

1 1/20 + 1 4/5

= 21/20 + 9/5

= (21 + 36)/20

= 57/20 = 2 17/20
