How many pounds of beans does malcolm buy in all

1 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

To add fractions, first we must find a Common Denominator between the 2.

To find the common denominator, we must find a number that is a multiple of each denominator.

So whats a multiple of 6 that is a multiple of 3?

6*2=12

4*3=12

So we need to convert both the numerator and denominator of both fractions to twelfths.

If we multiply 6 by 2, we need to multiply 5 by 2. The result is 10/12

If we multiply 4 by 3, we need to multiply 3 by 3. The result is 9/12

Now what is 9/12+10/12? The answer is 19/12

Now just convert that to a mixed fraction. We can represent a fraction that has a numerator greater than the denominator by representing how many times they could fit the number in the denominator as the big number.

Since they could only fit one 12 into 19, the way to represent this is 1  7/12

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

i dont get

answer: 16

step-by-step explanation: first you would add 6+6 which equals 12 then add 2+2 which equals 4. then add 12 + 4 which is 16.
