Help!!!My homeworks due in a hour!!!!!!!

Answer 1

4 3/16=(4·16+3)/16=67/16=4,1875 (pink ribbon)
5 1/16=(5·16+1)/16=81/16=5,0625 (green ribbon)
4,1875+5,0625=9,25 (total)
9,25·1,60=$14,8

Answer: $14,8

Answer 2

`4(3)/(16)+5(1)/(16)=(4+5)+((3)/(16)+(1)/(16))=9+(3+1)/(16)=9+(4)/(16)=9+(4:4)/(16:4)\\\\=9+(1)/(4)=\boxed{9(1)/(4)=9(1\cdot25)/(4\cdot25)=9(25)/(100)=9.25}\leftarrow total\ ribbon\\\\Answer:\boxed{9.25\cdot\$1.60=\$14.80}`
