Question

Mohammed, Isaac, Noah, and Felix solicited for boxes of donations for a community flea market. Mohammed collected 7 1⁄2 boxes, Isaac collected 8 1⁄3 boxes, Noah collected 4 3⁄4 boxes, and Felix collected 3 2⁄3 boxes. How many boxes did they collect in all?

Answer 1

Answer:

24 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

7 1/2 = 7 6/12

8 1/3 = 8 4/12

4 3/4 = 4 9/12

3 2/3 = 3 8/12

Add them all up now that they all have a common denominator:

7 6/12 + 8 4/12 = 15 10/12

15 10/12 + 4 9/12 = 19 19/12 -> 20 7/12

20 7/12 + 3 8/12 = 23 15/12 -> 24 3/12

Simplify to get 24 1/4
