joe draws a line segment 2 1/4 inches long. then he makes the line segment 1 1/2 inches longer. how long is the line segment now?
2 1/4 + 1 1/2=
2 1/4 + 1 2/4=
2+1 + (1/4+2/4)
3+3/4=
3 3/4 expressed as a improper fraction=
3*4 + 3 / 4
= 15/4
So the answer is 15/4, 3 3/4
2 1/4 + 1 2/4 = 3 3/4
wrong wrong wrong
To find the length of the line segment after it has been extended by 1 1/2 inches, we first need to add the two lengths together.
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions (if needed).
2 1/4 = 9/4
1 1/2 = 3/2
Step 2: Add the two fractions together.
9/4 + 3/2 = 9/4 + 6/4 = 15/4
Step 3: Simplify the fraction (if needed).
The fraction 15/4 can be simplified to 3 3/4.
Therefore, the line segment is now 3 3/4 inches long.
