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

Answer 1

To find the total score for both rounds, we need to add the scores from the first round and the second round.

The score from the first round is 3 1/3 points. We can rewrite the mixed number as an improper fraction: 3 1/3 = 3 + 1/3 = 9/3 + 1/3 = 10/3.

The score from the second round is 3 2/5 points. We can rewrite the mixed number as an improper fraction: 3 2/5 = 3 + 2/5 = 15/5 + 2/5 = 17/5.

Now, we can add the scores: 10/3 + 17/5.

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

Converting both fractions to have 15 as the denominator:
10/3 * 5/5 = 50/15,
17/5 * 3/3 = 51/15.

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

Therefore, Jett scores a total of 101/15 points in both rounds.
