Question

Jill baked Ask Your Teacher dozen carrot muffins for a bake sale. Mike baked Ask Your Teacher dozen apple muffins. How many dozens of muffins were baked in all?

Answer 1

Total = 4 1/12 dozen

Explanation:

Total dozen muffins baked = Sum of 2 1/3 & 1 3/4

Converting mixed fractions into normal fractions , {(3 x 2) + 1} / 3 = 7/3 and {(4 x 1) + 3} / 4 = 7/4

Adding 7/ 3 & 7/4. LCM & common denominators, (7x4)/(3x4) & (7x3)/(4x3) implies 28 / 12 + 21 / 12 = (28 + 21) / 12 = 49 / 12

Convert 49/12 normal fraction into mixed fraction 'Quot (Remain / Divisor)' = 4 1/12
