Question

Josie is picking apples. She has 3 identical baskets that she is trying to fill. One basket is 3/5 full, another is 7/10 full, and the last is 2/3 full. What portion of the 3 baskets has Josie filled? Give you answer as a mixed number and as an improper fraction.

Answer 1

1 29/30 full

Explanation:

Basket 1 = 3/5 full

Basket 2 = 7/10 full

Basket 3 = 2/3 full

Total = 3/5 + 7/10 + 2/3

= (18+21+20) / 30

= 59/30

= 1 29/30 full

Therefore, the portion of the 3 baskets Josie has filled is 1 29/30
