Question

6 TH grade math

On a hot day, Myra poured 4 1/8 buckets of water into a plastic wading pool. A few minutes later she added another 3 5/8 buckets. How much water did Myra pour into the pool?

Answer 1

7 3/4

Explanation:

4 1/8 + 3 5/8

Add the whole numbers, 4 + 3 = 7.

Add the fractions, 1/8 + 5/8 = 6/8.

You get 7 6/8. Simplify 6/8 to get 3/4.

Your answer is 7 3/4.
