3 baskets of guava today. How many baskets of guava did he sold in 2days?...

Verified answer

The answer will be 8 1/6 baskets of guava

Here are the steps to get the answer:

1. First, write the equation again, where fractions are separated to the mixed numbers like this:

3 + 1/2 + 4 + 2/3

2. Let's solve first the whole parts. When adding the whole parts, you are just like adding two whole numbers like this:

3 + 4 = 7

3. Find the LCD (Lowest Common Denominator) of 2 and 3, so that we can add the both of them. In finding the LCD, you must write their multiples like this:

2= 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, so on and so forth

3= 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, so on and o forth.

4. Then, get their common multiples, but must have must the lowest value. In our multiples, the lowest is 6, right? So, we change the fractions denominator into 6, We divide the new denominator to the old denominator, then multiply it to the numerator, to get the correct result.

5. After that, add the two numerator of the fractions and just copy the denominator. Do it like this:

3/6 + 4/6 = 7/6

6.Since 7/6 is a improper fraction and can be converted into mixed numbers, we separate the resulting whole number. Then, add it to our recent whole parts. While, the fraction part will be mixed to the resulting whole number like this:

7 + 1 = 8

8 + 1/6 = 8 1/6

Therefore, Noel sold almost 8 1/6 baskets of guava.
