Question

Malcolm buys a 5/6-pound bag of black beans and a 3/4-pound bag of pinto

Answer 1

1 7/12

Explanation:

I think that you want to know how many total pounds of beans do you have.

Well, to find this, simply find the LCM of 6 and 4. That is 12.

So convert the fractions to have a denominator of 12.

10/12, 9/12

Now add:

(10+9)/12 = 19/12 = 1 7/12
