Question

5 Grade math just need a little help please thanks.

Answer 1

Jane is 1 1/4 + 1 1/3 + 55 5/6 inches tall = 5/4 + 4/3 + 55 5/6 = 15/12 + 16/12 + 10/12 + 55 =

55 + (15+16+10)/12 = 55 + 41/12 = 55 + 3 5/12 = 58 5/12 inches

or

1 1/4 + 1 1/3 + 55 5/6 = 5/4 + 4/3 + 335/6 = 15/12 + 16/12 + 670/12 = (15+16+670)/12 = 701/12 = 58 5/12

or you could try to do it with decimals

1 1/4 = 1.25, 1 1/3 = 1.333... 55 5/6 = 55..8333....

1.250000

1.333333

55.833333. sum to

58,41333...

5/12 = .41333....

58 5/12 inches = 4 feet and 10 5/12 inches

58 5/12 inches = (58 5/12)/12 feet = (701/12)/12 = 701/144 = 4.868...feet
