Answer:
14 pounds of meat
Step-by-step explanation:
Jose has 4 5/6 pounds of chicken, 3 1/3 pounds of steaks and 5 5/6 pounds of hamburgers to put on the grill. How many pounds of meat does he have for the barbecue
We have to find the sum of the the total pounds of meat.
This is calculated as:
4 5/6 pounds + 3 1/3 pounds + 5 5/6 pounds
[(4 + 3 + 5) + (5/6 + 1/3 + 5/6)] pounds
The Lowest Common Denominator
= 6
Hence:
[12 + (5 + 2 + 5 /6)] pounds
= 12 + 12/6
= 12 + 2
= 14 pounds of meat
Hence, Jose has 14 pounds of meat
