3. Two scouts brought 2 pieces of rope of lengths eight and three-fourth meter and twelve and two third meter to their camp. How long are the two pieces together?​

Sagot :

21 5/12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]=8\frac{3}{4} +12\frac{2}{3} \\=(8+12)+(\frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{3})\\=20+\frac{(12\div4)\times3}{12} +\frac{(12\div3)\times2}{12}\\=20+(\frac{9}{12}+\frac{8}{12})\\=20+(\frac{17}{12})\\=20+(1\frac{5}{12} )=\boxed{21\frac{5}{12}}[/tex]

Hope it helps.
