Question

Marsha drank 4 5 liter of water Monday before going jogging. She drank 2 3 liter of water after her jog. How much water did Marsha drink altogether? Write your answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

1 7/15 liters of water

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 +2/3 is the problem that needs solved. Adding two fractions with different denominators isn't possible. In order to make the denominators the same you will do this: multiply both the 4 and the 5 in 4/5 by 3 and multiply both the 2 and the 3 in 2/3 by 5 in order to get the denominators equal. Now we have 12/15 + 10/15. When you add those together you get 22/15. Now to make it a mixed number you take 15 divided by 22. That will give you 1 7/15. Because 15 can go into 22 1 time with 7 left over. Take the 1 (it is your whole number). Then take the 7 and put it over 15. You keep the denominator the same that's why it is still 15. I hope that helped!!
