Question
Jett scores 3 1/3 points in the first round of a game and 3 2/5 points in the second round. How many total points does he score for both rounds?
To find the total score, we need to add the scores from the first and second rounds.
Jett's score in the first round is 3 1/3 = 10/3 points.
Jett's score in the second round is 3 2/5 = 17/5 points.
To add the fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15.
10/3 can be converted to 50/15 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 5.
17/5 can be converted to 51/15 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3.
Now, we can add the fractions:
50/15 + 51/15 = (50 + 51)/15 = 101/15.
Jett's total score for both rounds is 101/15 points.
