Question

Lila collected the honey from 3 of her beehives.from the first hive she collected 2/3 gallon of honey.the last two hives yielded 1/4 gallon each.

A.how many gallons of honey did lila collect in all?

Answer 1

Lila collected 7/6 gallons of honey, which is 1 1/6 gallons of honey.
Here is how to do it:
to add fractions you need the denominators to be the same, so you multiply the values in the fractions to get a denominator of 6.--> 4/6+3/6.
Then we add the numerators.--> 7/6.
Then we simplify 7/6, which is 1 1/6.
