Answer 1

Answer:

46 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires that we interpret the contents of the word problem.

After interpreting we need to add the fractions.

The costs are :

Pen = Rs 13½

Book = Rs 17⅔

Ice cream = 15¼

We need the total spent therefore we sum the fractions.

We have :

15¼ + 13½ + 17⅔ = 46 5/12

The total amount spent is therefore Rs 46 5/12.
