Question

10. Brooklyn is earning money to pay for a field trip. She earned of the money she needed last week and of the money this week. What fraction of the money has she earned? پا 1 금

Answer 1

5/6

Explanation

to figure out this, we need to add the fractions she has earned,

remember how to add fractions:

$\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad+bc}{bd}$

then

Step 1

add the fractions

$\frac{3}{6}+\frac{2}{6}=\frac{3\cdot6+2\cdot6}{6\cdot6}=\frac{18+12}{36}=\frac{30}{36}=\frac{5}{6}$

so, the answer is 5/6

to get 5/6, you have to add 1/6 6 times, so

you have to take 5 boxes

I hope this helps you
