Add 3 3/8 + 7 3/4
A. 10 6/12
B. 10 9/16
C. 11 1/8
D. 11 1/2
C. 11 1/8
is that correct ?
Let's add 3 3/8 and 7 3/4 step by step:
3 3/8 = 27/8
7 3/4 = 31/4
Now add the two fractions:
27/8 + 31/4
To add these fractions, we first need to find a common denominator, which in this case is 8.
27/8 + 62/8
= 89/8
Now convert the improper fraction 89/8 back to a mixed number:
89 ÷ 8 = 11 with a remainder of 1, so the mixed number is 11 1/8.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 11 1/8.
Lani purchased 1/3 lb. of turkey and 1/2 lb. of ham. How much more ham than turkey did Lani purchase?(1 point)
To find out how much more ham than turkey Lani purchased, we need to subtract the weight of turkey from the weight of ham.
1/3 lb. (turkey) is the same as 2/6 lb. (when we bring both fractions to a common denominator).
1/2 lb. (ham) is the same as 3/6 lb.
Now, to find how much more ham Lani purchased, we subtract the weight of turkey from the weight of ham:
3/6 lb. (ham) - 2/6 lb. (turkey) = 1/6 lb.
Therefore, Lani purchased 1/6 lb. more of ham than turkey.
