Question

Three electrical appliances each have power ratings of 1 7/8 watts, and 2 other appliances each have power ratings of 4 3/4 watts.What is the total power used by these appliances?

Answer 1

11 3/8 watts

Explanation:

1 7/8 converts to 1.875

4 3/4 converts to 4.75

4.75 * 2 = 9.5

9.5 + 1.875 = 11.375

11.375 converts to 91/8 or 11 3/8
