Question

A group of students recycled 7 2/3 pounds of glass and 9 3/4 pounds of paper. How many pounds of glass and paper did the students recycle alltogether?

Answer 1

17 5/12 is the final answer

Explanation:

First change the fractions so they have the same denominator so that would make 7 2/3 ---- 7 8/12 and 9 3/4 would become 9 9/12 then you add to get 16 17/12 which is an improper fraction so change that to 17 5/12.
