Question

What are 5 mixed numbers that all add up to ten using only (1/3)s and (1/4)s?

I can come close and go over and under but I NEVER hit exactly ten. I'd love if someone can help me please. Thanks!

Answer 1

2 1/4 + 1 3/4 = 4

1/3 + 1 1/3 + 4 1/3 = 6

4+6=10, so just add up the mixed numbers.
