To build a door frame, Anthony needs 2 pieces of lumber that each measure 98 1/4 inches and one piece of lumber that measure 39 1/2 inches. What is the total length of lumber that Anthony needs to build the frame?

Question

A. 137 3/4 inches

B. 235 1/3 inches

C. 235 3/10 inches

D. 236 inches

Answer 1

98 1/4 + 39 1/2

First, find the LCD (4)

98 1/4 + 39 2/4

98 + 39 = 137

1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

A is correct. 137 3/4 inches

Answer 2

The correct answer is D

Answer 3

Agree with Kon. Morgan missed the fact that 2 boards were needed at 98 1/4.

98.25 + 98.25 + 39.5 = 236
