Problema Solution
Jared made a fruit salad with 6 3/5 pounds of melon and 1 1/2 pounds of berries. How many pounds of fruit did Jared use in all?
Answer provided by our tutors
melon and berries are both fruit, so we add their weights in pounds together:
6 3/5 + 1 1/2 = 7 (3/5+1/2) = 7 (11/10) = 8 1/10
Jared used 8 1/10 pounds in all
