Ramil and Carly collected the honey from 4 of his beehives. From the first hive collected 1/3 gallons of honey. The last hives yielded 1/4 gallon each. How many gallons of honey did Ramil and Carly collect in all?

Answer:

We know that:

  • First hive gave 1/3 gallon.
  • The other three hives gave 1/4 gallon each.

To find the total gallons of honey, we just have to sum all of it.


H=(1)/(3)+(1)/(4)+(1)/(4)+(1)/(4)\\H=(1)/(3)+3(1)/(4)\\H=(1)/(3)+(3)/(4)\\H=(4+9)/(12)=(13)/(12)

As a mixed number:


(13)/(12)=1(1)/(12)

Therefore, Carly collected 1 and 1/12 gallons. Or, 1.08 gallons in total.
