ugh im looking for this too :? hate school.:(
Milo bought 2 1/2 pounds of red apples and 3 3/4 pounds of green apples to make apple sauce how many pounds of apples did he buy in all?
a. The expression that models the problem is
Total pounds of apples = pounds of red apples + pounds of green apples
b. The LCD (least common denominator) of the fractions in the expression can be found by determining the common factors of the denominators. In this case, since the problem doesn't provide any specific fractions, we can assume that the denominators are 1. Therefore, the LCD is 1.
c. Since the denominators are both 1, we can simply add the numerators to get the total pounds of apples, which is:
Total pounds of apples = pounds of red apples + pounds of green apples
d. The question asked in the problem is "How many pounds of apples did he buy in all?" The answer is given by evaluating the expression from part c.
