jeffery has two packages. one weighs 2 2/3 ounces and the other weighs 5/8 ounces. what is the total weight of the two packages?
Answer provided by our tutors
The total weight of the two packages = 2 2/3 + 5/8
2 2/3 = 8/3
2 2/3 + 5/8 = 8/3 + 5/8 = 64/24 + 15/24 = 79/24 = 3.29 ounces
So the total weight of the two packages is 79/24 = 3.29 ounces
