Question

Joan and Wyatt are raking leaves. If Joan fills 3 1/6 bags and Wyatt fills 1 1/3 bags more than Joan, how many bags does Wyatt fill?

Answer 1

Answer:  4 1/2 bags

==================================================

Explanation:

Add the fractions

1/6 + 1/3 = 1/6 + 2/6 = (1+2)/6 = 3/6 = 1/2

Add the whole parts

3+1 = 4

So overall, the two mixed numbers add to 4 1/2 which is the same as writing 4 & 1/2
