Aldo made a shirt using 1/5 meters of yellow fabric and 2/3 meters of red fabric. How many meters of fabric did he use in all? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Aldo's shirt was made of 13/15 meters of fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to add these fractions. However, in order to do so, we need to find the LCM, which in this case, is 15.

1/5 + 2/3 =

3/15 + 10/15 =

13/15

This fraction is also written in simplest form. Therefore, Aldo's shirt was made of 13/15 meters of fabric.

Hope this helps! :D

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

answer: 5 17/33 % (to the tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

he guessed: 34.5 pounds

actual weight is 32.7

there for he is off:

34.5 -32.7 = 1.8

32.7 is the 100%

1.8 represents %? of 32.7

therefore:

32.7   - 100%

1.8     -     x%

x= 1.8*100%/32.7% = 18*100%/327%

x=1800%/327%   = (5 165/327)%

to the tenth:

5 17/33 %
