Question

Judy bought 2 1/3 pounds of apples and 2 1/6 pounds of bananas. What was the total weight of the fruit she purchased?

Answer 1

4 1/2

Explanation:

2 1/3 pounds and 2 1/6 pounds

convert the 1/3 pounds into x/6 by multiplying both numerator and denominator by 2 which equals 2/6

Then add 2+2 which gives 4 and the 1/6 and 2/6 which is equal to 3/6 which simplifies into 1/2.

4 1/2
