Mom 5 5/8
Madison 5 1/6
Jade 4 5/6
Ben 3 1/5


9 1/2
9 feet
10 feet
10 1/2 feet

Answer 1

10 ft

Explanation:

To get their total reach, we add the two numbers.

5⅙

+4⅚

Add integers and fractions

5⅙

+4⅚

9⁶/₆

Convert the fraction to an integer

⁶/₆ = 1

Add the 1 to the 9

9 + 1 = 10 ft

If Madison and Jade lay end to end, they will they reach 10 ft.
