robin bought a bamboo plant that was 9 4/5 feet high. After a month it had grown another 3 1/5 feet. What was the total height of the plant after a month.
The total height of the plant was 13 feet, because 9+3 is 12 and 1/5 + 4/5 is 1. Also, use the middle school level when describing addition problems, not college.
