Answer 2

Data:
Kate has two lengths of ribbon
pink ribbon =
`4 (6)/(12) \;feet`
purple ribbon =
`2 (4)/(12) \;feet`

How much ribbon does kate have in all?
pink ribbon + purple ribbon

Solving:

`4(6)/(12) + 2(4)/(12) = (12*4+6)/(12) + (12*2+4)/(12) = (48+6)/(12) + (24+4)/(12) = (54)/(12) + (28)/(12) = (82)/(12) =`

`(82)/(12) \:simplify\: (/2)/(/2) = \boxed{\boxed{(41)/(6) \:or\:6 (5)/(6) }}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark`

Answer:
Kate has it all
`6 (5)/(6)` of ribbons
