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?

Answer 1

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

Jett's score in the first round is 3 1/3 = 10/3 points.
Jett's score in the second round is 3 2/5 = 17/5 points.

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

10/3 can be converted to 50/15 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 5.
17/5 can be converted to 51/15 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3.

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

Jett's total score for both rounds is 101/15 points.
