Madison buys 2 3/5 pounds of meat. Her neighbor buys 3/4 pound more meat than Madison. How many pounds of meat do they buy altogether?
It's easier to use decimals than fractions.
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
3/5 = 0.4
2 3/5 = 2.4

To find the total amount of meat that Madison and her neighbor bought, we need to add their individual purchases.
First, let's find out how much meat Madison bought, which is 2 3/5 pounds. This number can be represented as a mixed fraction, where the numerator (3) represents the remaining pounds after dividing the whole number (2) by the denominator (5).
2 3/5 = (2 × 5 + 3) / 5 = 13/5 pounds
Next, we need to determine how much meat her neighbor bought. We know that Madison's neighbor purchased 3/4 pound more than Madison. To calculate this, we add 3/4 pound to Madison's purchase of 13/5 pounds.
13/5 + 3/4
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 5 and 4 is 20.
(13/5) × (4/4) + (3/4) × (5/5)
= 52/20 + 15/20
= (52 + 15) / 20
= 67/20 pounds
Therefore, Madison and her neighbor bought a total of 67/20 pounds of meat altogether.
