Question

Mrs.Buback is making a meatloaf with 4/9 pound of turkey and 4/6 pound of ground beef. Find the total number of pounds of meat?

Answer 1

1 1/9

Explanation:

You need to find a common denominator.

18 So, you need to make the fractions have the common denominator.

4/9=8/18 4/6=12/18

8+12+20

Thus, 4/9+4/6=20/18

20/18 simplified is 10/9

We need to make 10/9 into a mixed number.

10/9=1 1/9

Hope this helps!
