Answer:
D. 5 /12 + 1 /12 + 4/ 12 + 2 /12 + 5 /12
Explanation:
Ive friends each knit one part of a scarf that is 1 5/ 12 yards long.
Hencfy, the fractions of the scarf each friend could have knit is calculated by comparing the options
A. 1 /12 + 2 /12 + 3 /12 + 8 /12 + 4 /12
Lowest Common Denominator = 12
Hence = 18/12 = 1 6/12 = 1 1/2
Option A is wrong
B. 1 /12 + 6/ 12 + 3 /12 + 2 /12 + 4 /12
Lowest Common Denominator = 12
Hence = 16/12 = 1 4/12 = 1 1/3
Option B is wrong
C. 2/12 + 3/ 12 + 3/ 12 + 2/ 12 + 5/ 12
Lowest Common Denominator = 12
Hence = 15/12 = 1 3/12 = 1 1/4
Option C is wrong
D. 5 /12 + 1 /12 + 4/ 12 + 2 /12 + 5 /12
Lowest Common Denominator = 12
Hence = 17/12 = 1 5/12
Option D is correct
Therefore, the fractions of the scarf each friend could have knit is Option D
