Question

Mrs Sinha bought one-third metre of pink material and five-sixths metre of purple material. How much material did she buy in total?

Answer 1

1 1/6 metre

Explanation:

1/3 pink + 5/6 purple

To add, we need to get a common denominator

1/3 *2/2 = 2/6

2/6 + 5/6

7/6

Change from an improper fraction to a mixed number

1 1/6 metre
