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
