Answer 1

36 1/2 Inches

Explanation:

I found this by first adding the fractions up, which gets us 9/6 or 1 and 3/6 or 1/2

12+8+15+1 1/2

12+8=20

20+15=35

35+1 1/2= 36 and 1/2 Inches

Hope this helped

Answer 2

The answer to your question is 32 1/2 in

Explanation:

1st jump = 12 5/6 in

2nd jump = 8 3/6

3rd jump = 15 1/6

Process

1.- Convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions

12 5/6 = (12 x 6 + 5) / 6 = (72 + 5)/2 = 77/6

8 3/6 = (8 x 3 + 3)/ 6 = (24 + 3)/6 = 27/6

15 1/6 = (15 x 6 + 1)/6 = (90 + 1)/6 = 91/6

2.- Add the fractions

77/6 + 27/6 + 91/6 = 195/6

3.- Convert the improper fraction into a mixed fraction

32

6 195

15

195/6 = 32 3/6 or 32 1/2 in
