Question

Letitia has 7 1/6 yards of yellow ribbon, 5 1/4 yards of orange ribbon, and 5 1/6 yards of brown ribbion. How much ribbion does she have altogether

Answer 1

To find the total amount of ribbon she has, we need to add up all of the fractions.

First, we need to find the common denominator.

6 × 2 = 12
4 × 3 = 12

Our least common denominator is 12.

Now, we convert the fractions and add.

7 1/6 = 7 2/12
5 1/4 = 5 3/12
5 1/6 = 5 2/12

7 2/12 + 5 3/12 + 5 2/12 = 17 7/12

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

7 1/6+ 5 1/4+ 5 1/6=17 7/12yards of ribbon
