Question

After swimming party at the Murrays house, there was only 200 2/3 gallons of water left
in the pool (due to splashing). In order to refill the pool to its normal level, 25 7/18 gallons
of water need to be added. What will be the full capacity of the pool after the new
water is added? Reduce your answer to lowest terms.

Answer 1

we started with:
200 2/3 gallons

we added:
25 7/18 gallons

when we add them together:

200 + 2/3 + 25 + 7/18 = 225 + 2/3 + 7/18
= 225 + (6*2)/(6*3) + 7/18
= 225 + 12/18 + 7/18
= 225 + 19/18
= 225 + 1 1/18
= 226 1/18

Answer 2

we can do it a different way as well - but first let me know if the above is clear.

Answer 3

yes that was right :) and clear thx <3

Answer 4

above, I added the whole parts of the numbers seperately and the fractions seperately.
You could also do it differently - by first converting to improper fractions, and adding those together.
