If he has already eaten 2 3/4  and still needs to eat 3 3/4 to finish, how much in total will he have eaten after he eats 2 3/4 + 3 3/4  ?

anonymous · Answer

2 3/4 + 3 3/4   is like 2 + 3 + (3/4) + (3/4)
2+3 is just 5
and (3/4) + (3/4) is (6/4) or 1 1/2     (because 4/4 is 1, and the leftover 2/4 is 1/2)
So in all, it's 5 + 1 1/2 or 6 1/2   <<<---  Answer D
