Question

En una escuela se recibieron plumas de diferentes patrocinadores. Por parte de la sociedad de padres compraron 4 1⁄4 cajas. La Sociedad de Alumnos aporto 2 5/6 cajas. Y 3 3⁄4 cajas regalo Un Programa de Educación ¿Cuántas cajas de plumas son en total?

Answer 1

`10\frac {5}{6}` boxes

Explanation:

Given that pens received from the parents' society
`= 4 \frac 1 4` boxes.

Pens received from the Student Society
`= 2 \frac 56` boxes.

Pens received as gift boxes
`= 3 \frac 3 4` boxes.

So, the total number of boxes of pens received
`= 4 \frac 1 4 + 2 \frac 56 + 3 \frac 3 4` boxes

`=\frac {17}{4} + \frac {17}{6} +(15)/(4)\\\\=\frac {65}{6}\\\\=10\frac {5}{6}.`

Hence, the total number of boxes of pens received
`= 10\frac {5}{6}` boxes.
