Robin needs 3 1/4 meter long of red lace, 5 meters of yellow lace and 2 1/2 meter of pink lace for her project. How many meters of lace does she needs in all? ​

Answer:

10¾ meters of laces.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3 \frac{1}{4} + 5 + 2 \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{13}{4} + \frac{5}{1} + \frac{5}{2} [/tex]

Find the Greatest Common Factor of each fraction. Then Multiply.

[tex] \frac{13 \times 1}{4 \times 1} + \frac{5 \times 4}{1 \times 4} + \frac{5 \times 2}{2 \times 2} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{13}{4} + \frac{20}{4} + \frac{10}{4} = \frac{43}{4} [/tex]

Simplify:

[tex] \frac{43}{4} = 10 \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
