Question

a medical transcriptionist has a four drawer cabinet. one drawer is 4/5 full and one is 1/2 full and one drawer is 3/4 full. can the contents be combined into 3 drawers why or why not

Answer 1

well the sum of all the fraction combined are 2.05, so you could fill 2 1/2 drawers. So technically you could use 3 drawers, but the 3rd one won't be full.

hope that helps
