Please help me I will give brainliest to whoever is right. Latasha went to the fabric store and bought 3 1/4 yards of red fabric and 3 1/2 yards of blue fabric. How many yards of fabric did Latasha buy altogether?
A student solved the problem this way: 3 1/4 + 3 1/2 = 3 1/4 + 3 2/4 = 6 3/4
Latasha bought 6 3/4 yards of fabric.
Use a similar strategy to solve this problem.
