Chrissy went to the store to buy some art supplies. She spent 1/5 of her money on paint and 1/3 of her money on paper. What fraction of her money did she spend?(1 point) Responses 2/3 2 thirds 7/15 7 over 15 2/15 2 over 15 8/15

Answer 1

To find the fraction of money that Chrissy spent, we need to find the sum of the fractions for paint and paper.

Chrissy spent 1/5 of her money on paint and 1/3 of her money on paper.

To add fractions with a different denominator, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15.

1/5 = (1/5) x (3/3) = 3/15
1/3 = (1/3) x (5/5) = 5/15

Now that we have a common denominator, we can add the fractions:
3/15 + 5/15 = 8/15

Therefore, Chrissy spent 8/15 of her money.

Answer 3

To find the total distance the boys hiked, we need to add up the distances from each day.

First Day: 4 1/6 miles = 4 + 1/6 = 24/6 + 1/6 = 25/6

Second Day: 3 2/3 miles = 3 + 2/3 = 18/6 + 2/3 = 20/6

Third Day: 4 2/3 miles = 4 + 2/3 = 24/6 + 2/3 = 26/6

Now let's add up the distances:
25/6 + 20/6 + 26/6 = (25 + 20 + 26) / 6 = 71/6

Therefore, the boys hiked a total distance of 71/6 miles.
