Question

describe 2 ways you could evaluate 37% of the sum of 27 3/5 and 15/9

 

Answer 1

First way is create an equation like this:

`0.37(27 (3)/(5)+ (15)/(9))`
and calculating it.
Second way is to find 37% of each number and then add it

`0.37*27 (3)/(5)` +
`0.37* (15)/(9)`
In both cases the result is 10.829
