Question

Malcom buys a 5/6 pound of black beans and a 3/4 pound bag of pinto bans. How many pounds of beans does Malcom buy in all.

Answer 1

5/6 + 3/4

5/6 = 10/12

3/4 = 9/12

10/12 + 9/12 = 19/12 = 1 7/12 pounds total

Answer 2

5/6 + 3/4

5/6 = 10/12

3/4 = 9/12

10/12 + 9/12 = 19/12 = 1 7/12

so the answer is 1 7/12 pounds total.
