Answer:

  • The baby grew 1 3/16 inches

Explanation:

A new baby grew:

  • 3/4 of an inch in June,
  • 7/16 of an inch in July.

Total inches during two months:

  • 3/4 + 7/16 = Fractions with different denominators
  • 3*4/(4*4) + 7/16 = Multiply the first fraction by 4
  • 12/16 + 7/16 = Add numerators
  • 19/16 = Numerator is greater than denominator
  • (16 + 3)/16 = Convert to mixed fraction
  • 16/16 + 3/16 =
  • 1 + 3/16 =
  • 1 3/16 Answer
