Ted is making three picture frames like the one shown below. What length of wood does Ted need for all three picture frames?
a) 11 1/2in, b) 15 3/4in, c) 27 1/4,
d) 81 3/4 in.
Which frame shown below??
Sorry, The length is 7 7/8 in., and width is 5 3/4in.
45 1/6
To find the total length of wood Ted needs for all three picture frames, we need to add up the lengths of wood required for each frame.
Let's look at the given options:
a) 11 1/2in
b) 15 3/4in
c) 27 1/4in
d) 81 3/4in
To add fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the denominators are all different (2, 4, and 4). To find a common denominator, we can multiply these denominators together to get the least common multiple (LCM), which is 4.
Now, let's convert the fractions to have a denominator of 4:
a) 11 1/2in = 11 2/4in
b) 15 3/4in = 15 3/4in (already in the desired format)
c) 27 1/4in = 27 1/4in
d) 81 3/4in = 81 3/4in (already in the desired format)
Now we can add up the lengths:
a) 11 2/4in + 15 3/4in + 27 1/4in + 81 3/4in =
(11 + 15 + 27 + 81) + (2/4 + 3/4 + 1/4 + 3/4) =
134 + 9/4.
To simplify the fraction, we divide the numerator by the denominator and express any mixed number:
134 + 9/4 = 134 + 2 1/4
So, the total length of wood Ted needs for all three picture frames is 134 2 1/4 inches.
