Question

Hot dog buns come in boxes of 8. On Friday's game, the chef uses 2 1/6 boxes of hotdog buns. On Saturdays game, the chief uses 1 4/6 boxes of hotdog buns. How many boxes of hotdog buns did the chef use altogether?

Answer 1

3 and 5/6

We know this because it says the chef uses 2 1/6 boxes on one day and 1 4/6 on the other.

2 + 1 = 3

1/6 + 4/6 = 5/6 (cannot be simplified)

Put them together = 3 and 5/6
