hero (hero):

Add (10 + 1/3) + (18 + 1/4) + (15 + 2/3) + (24 + 1/4) = (10 + 18 + 15 + 24) + (1/3 + 1/4 + 2/3 + 1/4)

hero (hero):

= (10 + 18 + 15 + 24) + (1/3 + 2/3) + (1/4 + 1/4)

hero (hero):

Let me know how it goes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

68 1/2?

hero (hero):

You got the 68 correct. How'd you get the 1/2 though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 1/4 + 1/4 equals a half 1/3+2/3= 1 the rest is 37 plus 1 plus 1/2

hero (hero):

Yes correct. I just wanted to see some of your work to make sure you didn't use a calculator for this.
