Answer: 12/7

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is 12/7 because here is what we know: A group of friends collected toys to donate to children in need. After sorting the toys into boxes, that's what we know, we also know that they found they had 6/7 of a box of stuffed animals, and we also know that they found 5/7 of a box of board games and

1/7 of a box of doll. What they want to know is In total, how many boxes of toys did the friends collect? so you take 6/7 from the box stuffed animals they found + 5/7 from the box of board games they found which equals 11/7 then you add the 11/7 with the 1/7 the box of dolls they found. In total the friends collect 12/7 boxes. Hope this helps!
