Question

A Stegosaurus eats six and two fifths big leaves for breakfast and three and one fifth big leaves for lunch. How many leaves did the Stegosaurus eat in all?

three and one fifth
three and three fifths
nine and one fifth
nine and three fifths

Answer 1

nine and three fifths just add the numerator and the whole numbers. leave the denominators as they are.

Answer 2

Answer:
`9(3)/(5)` or nine and three fifths

First let's take the given values of
`6(2)/(5)` (six and two fifths) then we will take our other given value of
`3(1)/(5)\\` (three and one fifths)

Now we must add these values together

`6(2)/(5) + 3(1)/(5) \\`

This will equal

`9(3)/(5)`
