Question

A farmer has 7 3/4 rows of radishes in one field, 4 3/4 rows of radishes in another field, and 6 1/4 rows of radishes in a third field. How many rows of radishes does he have altogether?A. 18 3/4B. 17 7/12C. 17 1/2D. 17 3/4

Answer 1

A. 18 3/4

Explanation:

It is convenient to rearrange the sum to make it easier to compute:

7 3/4 + 4 3/4 + 6 1/4 = (7 3/4) +(4 +6) +(3/4 +1/4)

= 7 3/4 + 10 + 1

= 18 3/4

The farmer has 18 3/4 rows of radishes altogether.
