Explanation:

Lawrence is making a pillow that has a five-sided design. The sides measure 18in, 12in 14 1/4in,12in and 14 1/4. What is the sum of the five sides of this pillow in simplest form

The sum of the 5 sides =

(18 + 12 + 14 1/4 + 12 + 14 1/4) inches

= 18 + 12 + 14+ 12 + 14 + (1/4 + 1/4)

= 70 (2/4)

= 70 1/2 inches

The sum of the five sides of this pillow in simplest form is 70 1/2 inches
