Question

In March, Terell weighed 104 1/3 pounds.

In June, he weighed 109 1/2 pounds.
How much weight did Terell gain
between March and June?

Answer 1

Terell gained 5 and 1/6 pounds between March and June

Explanation:

1. 109 - 104 = 5

2. Convert 1/3

1/3 = 2/6

3. Convert 1/2

1/2 = 3/6

4. Subtract them

3/6 - 2/6 = 1/6

(Full equation: 109 and 1/2 - 104 and 1/3 = 5 and 1/6 pounds)
