Charlie, Dan, and Ellie each made a paper chain. Charlie's was 9 1/2 feet long Dan's was 6 1/3 feet long, and Ellie's was feet long. When put together, how 8 1/3 long were the three chains?

Assuming Ellies was 8 /13 feet long

9 1/2 + 6 1/3 + 8 1/3 =

getting a common denominator of 6

9 3/6 + 6 2/6 + 8 2/6

23 7/6

24 1/6 feet
