A strip of paper is 6 2/5 inches long.another strip of paper is 8 3/5 inches long. how long áre the strips of paper altogether?

Sagot :

Answer

The two strips of paper are 15 inches long altogether.

Explanation

One strip of paper is 6 2/5 inches

Another is 8 3/5 inches

We are then asked to find the sum of both strips of paper combined

This will be the sum of both lengths

6 2/5 + 8 3/5

= 6 + 8 + 2/5 + 3/5

= 14 + (2/5) + (3/5)

To add the fractions, we will sum the numerators only since the denominators are the same

14 + (2/5) + (3/5)

= 14 + [(2 + 3)/5]

= 14 + (5/5)

= 14 + 1

= 15

Hope this Helps!!!
