Reeta bought 1 1/5 meters of ribbon and Geeta bought 2 4/15 meters of ribbon. What is the total length of the ribbon they bought? pls tell fast​

Answer 1

Answer:

3 7/15 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Reeta bought 1 1/5(mixed fraction) meter ribbon

the fraction is 6/5 (1*5 + 1 = 5+1= 6)

Geeta bought 2 4/15(mixed fraction) meter ribbon

the fraction is 34/15( same as above)

Total length of the ribbon is  6/5+34/15

Lcm of 15, 5 is 15

6/5*3/3 = 18/15

18/15+34/15 = (18+34)/15

52/15

Here mixed fraction is 3 7/15 m
