Question

peter uses quick fix glue to hold a bamboo rod one piece of the rod measures 11/5 meters and another piece measures 2 2/3 meters what is the total length of bamboo rod after it has been glued together

Answer 1

1 1/5= 6/5, 2 2/3= 8/3. The common denominator is 15, so to add them together you'd convert them to 18/15 and 40/15 and then add, so it equals 58/15 (as an improper fraction).
