Question

James baked 5 1/4 dozen peanut butter cookies and 4 5/6 dozen oatmeal cookies for a bake sale what was the number of dozen cookies he baked

Answer 1

Answer:

$10\frac{1}{12}$ dozen

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}$ × 3 = $\frac{3}{12}$

$\frac{5}{6}$ × 2 = $\frac{10}{12}$

$\frac{3}{12}  + \frac{10}{12}  = \frac{13}{12}$

$\frac{13}{12}$ is equal to $1\frac{1}{12}$

5 + 4 = 9 + $1\frac{1}{12}$ = $10\frac{1}{12}$ dozen
