Question

Find the total thickness of two pieces of wood that a carpenter glued together if one is 5/16 inches and the other is 7/8 inches thick?

A) 1 1/4 inches

B) 1 3/16 inches

C) 1 1/8 inches

D) 1 5/8 inches

Answer 1

Answer is B
If you turn 7/8 into 14/16 because they’re equivalent and add it with 5/16 you’ll get 19/16 and simplify that and you’ll get 1 3/16
