Answer 1

3 1/36

Explanation:

Answer 2

If I did my math correctly, I'm pretty sure the answer is 3 1/36 yards.

Explanation:

1. First, you have to turn them all into an improper fraction.

1 7/18 becomes 25/18

1 2/9 becomes 11/9

5/12 remains the same as it's already an improper fraction.

2. Find a common denominator, which is 36

25/18 becomes 50/36

11/9 becomes 44/36

5/12 becomes 15/36

3. Add them all together and you get 109/36

4. Turn it into a mixed number, and in this case, is 3 1/36

Solution is 3 1/36
