Answer:
8 38/45 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A regular size chocolate bar is 5 and 4/9 inches long. If the king size bar is 3 and 2/5 inches longer, what is the length of the king size bar?
Let us represent:
Length of regular size chocolate bar = x
Length of king size chocolate bar = y
A regular size chocolate bar is 5 and 4/9 inches long.
x = 5 4/9 inches
If the king size bar is 3 and 2/5 inches longer,
Hence:
y = x + 3 2/5 inches
The length of the king size bar is calculated as:
5 4/9 inches + 3 2/5 inches
(5 + 3) + ( 4/9 + 2/5)
Lowest common denominator = 45
8 + (20 + 18/45)
8 38/45 inches
