What's the answer to this? and please explain.

Use this formula

a & b/c = (a*c+b)/c

to convert from a mixed number to an improper fraction

So,

a & b/c = (a*c+b)/c

3 & 3/4 = (3*4+3)/4

3 & 3/4 = 15/4

Next, we add the fractions 15/4 and 5/6. The denominators aren't the same, so we can't add right away. We need to get the denominators to the LCD.

In this case, the LCD is 4*6 = 24

Now we can add the fractions:

90/24+20/24 = (90+20)/24 = 110/24

So far, we've added the 3&3/4 portion to the 5/6 portion to get the result 110/24

The last thing to do is to add on the two 1/3 ft pieces, which means we're adding on 2/3 of a foot

2/3 = 16/24 after multiplying top and bottom by 8

Add this to the result of the last section

110/24+16/24 = (110+16)/24 = 126/24

From here, we convert the improper fraction 126/24 to decimal form

Using a calculator, you should find that 126/24 = 5.25

The result is larger than 5, which means she used too much ribbon. There won't be enough ribbon to do everything she wants to do.

The shortcut we can take is to type the following into the calculator

3+3/4+5/6+2/3

doing so should lead to 5.25

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

So at the begining, Cherly has 60 in (12inx5ft) of ribbon. She uses 45 in(3.75x12) to make the hair bow, leaving 15 in of ribbon. She, then, uses 10 in (5/6x12) of ribbon, leaving 5 in. After that, Cheryl uses 8 in [2(1/3x12)] to put on the picture frame, leaving two inches of ribbon.
