Answer:

18/5

Explanation:

From my understanding, this is 1 whole 2 upon 10

Step 1: Convert mixed fraction into fraction

Multiply whole number by denominator: 1 x 10 = 10

Add numerator: 10 + 2 = 12

Write the result as the numerator and use the same denominator.

12/10

Step 2: Find the total tape used

From my understanding, each student used 12/10 of the tap

So 3 students used: 12/10 x 3 = 18/5

Therefore, the total tape used for three students was 18/5.
