Answer:
Therefor, the caterpillar crawled 59.44cm all in all.
Step-by-step explanation:
10 and 17/25 + 48 and 19/25
first make mix numbers to improper fraction:
multiply denominator to the whole number then add to the numirator.
10•25 = 250 + 17 = 267
= 267/25
48•25 = 1200 + 19 = 1219
=1219/25
second add the two answers.
1219/25 + 267/25
= 1486/25
=59.44cm
