Question

You revived 1/4 pound of candy from your grandmother, 1/2 pound of candy from your sister, and 1/8 pound of candy from your best friend. How many pounds of candy did you receive?

Answer 1

⅞ pound

Explanation:

You received 1/4 pound of candy from your grandmother.

You received 1/2 pound of candy from your sister.

You received 1/8 pound of candy from your best friend.

The total amount of candy you received is given as the sum of all the candy that he received from your grandmother sister and best friend.

The total amount of candy is therefore:

¼ + ½ + ⅛ = ⅞ pound

You received ⅞ pound of candy in total.
