Question

Megan's family had cakes on two days. The first day, they had 2 3/4 cakes left. The second day, they had 1 1/4 cakes left. How many cakes were left in all?

Answer 1

Answer: 4 cakes left in all.

Explanation:

Given: Cakes left on first day=
`2(3)/(4)=(11)/(4)`

Cakes left on second day =
`1(1)/(4)=(5)/(4)`

The number of cakes left in all=
`(11)/(4)+(5)/(4)`

⇒The number of cakes left in all=
`(11+5)/(4)=(16)/(4)`

Therefore, The number of cakes left in all=4
