Question

Jose purchased 4/9 pound of peanut and 7/11 pounds of raisins find the total weight of his purchase

Answer 1

The total weight of his purchase is 1.08 pounds

Explanation:

To find the total weight of his purchase, we sum the weight of each of his purchases.

He purchased:

4/9 pound of peanut.

7/11 pounds of raisins

Total:

The least common multiple between 9 and 11 is 99.

Then

`(4)/(9) + (7)/(11) = (11*4 + 9*7)/(99) = (107)/(99) = 1.08`

The total weight of his purchase is 1.08 pounds
