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?

Question

A : 6 3/8
B : 6 11/15
C : 1/15
D : 7 11/15

Answer 1

To add the fractions 3 1/3 and 3 2/5, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15.

Converting 3 1/3 to an improper fraction:
3 * 3 = 9
9 + 1 = 10
10/3

Converting 3 2/5 to an improper fraction:
3 * 5 = 15
15 + 2 = 17
17/5

Now that we have both fractions with a common denominator of 15, we can add them:
10/3 + 17/5

To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator: 3 * 5 = 15
10/3 * 5/5 = 50/15
17/5 * 3/3 = 51/15

Now we can add the fractions:
50/15 + 51/15 = 101/15

So, Jett scores a total of 101/15 points for both rounds.

The answer is not one of the given options.

Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake in the previous response.

To add the fractions 3 1/3 and 3 2/5, we can convert them to improper fractions in terms of a common denominator.

3 1/3 as an improper fraction:
3 * 3 = 9
9 + 1 = 10
10/3

3 2/5 as an improper fraction:
3 * 5 = 15
15 + 2 = 17
17/5

Now that we have both fractions with a common denominator of 15, we can add them:

10/3 + 17/5

To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator: 3 * 5 = 15
10/3 * 5/5 = 50/15
17/5 * 3/3 = 51/15

Now we can add the fractions:
50/15 + 51/15 = 101/15

Since we have an improper fraction, we can simplify it to a mixed number:

101/15 = 6 11/15

Therefore, Jett scores a total of 6 11/15 points for both rounds.

The answer is option B: 6 11/15.
