Question

Diana's parents keep a chart on the wall where they mark how much Diana grows each year. When Diana was 15, she grew 5/6 of an inch and when she was 16, she grew 1/3 of an inch. In total, how much did Diana grow in during those two years?

a. 1 and 1/2
b. 1 and 1/6
c. 1/2
d. 3/6

Answer 1

d?

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is B.
To explain:
5/6 and 1/3 are different denominators, so we need to multiply 1/3 by two.
1/3*2=2/6
5/6+2/6=7/6
7/6 is another way of saying 1 and 1/6!
Hope that helps:)
