@Jyako90 and everyone, it's a mixed fraction, you misunderstood the question.

8 is the answer in estimation

60/8 27/8

15/4 + 35/8 = 65/8 = 8 1/8 .. so estimation is 8.

Answer 11

60/8+27/8

87/8? is that right

see he has one piece = \[ {{15}\over{4}}ft\]
see he has another piece = \[ {{35}\over{8}}ft\]

Answer 14

add these and see how much is with him

Answer 15

Answer 16

it should be
\[{30+35} \over{8}\] = \[{{65} \over{8}}ft\]

Answer 17

no no sorry it was my mistake i took 3 first but it is \[4{{3}\over{8}}ft ={ {4\times8+3}\over{8}}ft = {{35}\over{8}}ft\]
