Question

If you put all the insects together end to end, what would be the total length of all the insects?

Answer 1

Answer: 12 2/8 or 12. 25 ( Simplified would be 12 1/4 )

( Be sure to check my work! )

Explanation:

Step 1. Add all the fractions ( Bonus: I convert them to improper fractions to make it easier)

4/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 + 9/8 + 9/8 + 12/8 + 12/8 + 12/8+ 14/8 + 16/8= 98/8

Step 2. Convert to mixed number or decimal whichever is easier.

98/8 = 12 2/8

Decimal would be 12.25.

Sorry this took so long I was doing the math by head! Good Luck!

Answer 2

12 and 1/4

Explanation:

This is a fairly simply problem all you have to do is all all the fractions given. So we get the equation 4/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 + 1 1/8 + 1 1/8 + 1 4/8 + 1 4/8 + 1 4/8 + 1 6/8 + 2. This makes the equations easy since all the denominators are the same. First we must make all the fractions improper fractions. This will make the equation 4/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 + 9/8 + 9/8 + 12/8 +12/8 + 12/8 + 14/8 + 16/8. Then we can add all the values together and we get 98/8 which simplifies to 12 2/8 which further simplifies to 12 and 1/4.
