Answer 1

37 1/4 (answer)

Explanation:

One way of approaching this problem would be to rewrite each proper fraction as a decimal fraction:

6.75

+7.25

+8.25

+7.25

+7.75

-----------

This comes out to 14 + 15.5 + 7.75, or

29.5 + 7.75, or

36.0 + 1.25, or 37.25. This is the same as 37 1/4 (answer)
