Question

Jett scores 3 1/3 points in the first round of a game and 3 2/5 points in the second round. How many total points does he score for both rounds?(1 point)

Answer 1

First, we need to convert $\frac{3}{1/3}$ and $\frac{3}{2/5}$ into fractions with the same denominator. To do this, we convert the fractions to have a denominator of $15$. We get $\frac{3}{1/3}=\frac{3}{1/3}\cdot \frac{3/3}{1/3} = \frac{9}{1} = 9.$ Similarly, $\frac{3}{2/5}=\frac{3}{2/5}\cdot \frac{5/5}{2/5} = \frac{15}{2}$. Adding, $9+15=\boxed{24}$.
