Question

In November, it snowed $10 fraction numerator 5 over denominator 8 end fraction$ inches. In December it snowed $5 fraction numerator 6 over denominator 7 end fraction$ inches. The total amount of snow for November and December is __________

$16 \frac{25}{56}$ inches
$16 \frac{29}{56}$ inches
$16 \frac{27}{56}$ inches
$15 \frac{27}{56}$ inches

hint Hint:

Convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

Take the LCM of their denominators ,then divide each of the fraction's denominator with the LCM and multiply the quotient of the division with each of the fraction's respective numerator.

Then add the fractions

At last convert the sum into mixed fraction.

The correct answer is: $16 fraction numerator 27 over denominator 56 end fraction$ inches

Step 1:
Snowfall in November = $10 fraction numerator 5 over denominator 8 end fraction$ inches
Snowfall in December = $5 fraction numerator 6 over denominator 7 end fraction$ inches
Step 2:
Total snowfall in two months = $10 fraction numerator 5 over denominator 8 end fraction plus 5 fraction numerator 6 over denominator 7 end fraction$
$equals fraction numerator 85 over denominator 8 end fraction plus fraction numerator 41 over denominator 7 end fraction equals fraction numerator 595 over denominator 56 end fraction plus fraction numerator 328 over denominator 56 end fraction$
= $fraction numerator 923 over denominator 56 end fraction$
= $16 fraction numerator 27 over denominator 56 end fraction$ inches.

Follow the steps given above step by step without making any mistake.
