a. Write an expression that models the problem.
b. What is the LCD of the fractions in your expression? Explain how you found the LCD.
c. Evaluate the expression.
d. Answer the question asked in the problem.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the answers to the given problem above:

Given that Milo bought red apples 2 and 1/2 pounds and green apples 3 3/4 pounds. 

A. The expression that models the problem would be "2 1/2 + 3 3/4" or "5/2 + 15/4"

B. The LCD for least common denominator of the fractions in the given expression would be 4. To find the LCD, you need to list the multiples of both numbers 2 and 4, and the least number that is common is 4.

C. Here is the evaluation of the expression:

5/2 becomes 10/4 so that it will have the same denominator with the first fraction. So 15/4 + 10/4 and we get 25/4 or 6 and 1/4.

D. Therefore, the answer to the problem would be 6 and 1/4 pounds. 

Hope these answers help.
