Answer:
C
Explanation:
This looks like a case of multiplying the number of X's by the respective number below it.
For example: the 1/2 has 3 X's, so we multiple (1/2)(3), making it (3/2) or 1.5
Next is the 1 having 2 X's, so (2)(1) is 2
Continuing that trend we get the following
1.5, 4, 2.5, and 3.
So all of our totals are 1.5, 2, 1.5, 4, 2.5, and 3.
Our last step will be adding all these answers together.
1.5 + 2 = 3.5
+ 1.5 = 6
+ 4 = 10
+ 2.5 = 12.5
and finally +3 = a grand total of 15.5 or 15 1/2
