B: 4 cars

C: 5 cars

D: 6 cars

Answer 1

The answer is 6 cars

Answer 2

Answer: 6 Cars

Explanation:

Well make sure the denominators are the same

15 3/4 --> 15 6/8

2 5/8 stays the same

Then just add 2 5/8 by itself

6 would be the answer

2 times 6 = 12

5/8 times 6 = 30/8

30/8 = 3.75

12 + 3.75 = 15.75

15 3/4 = 15.75
