Addition of Fraction

Wood 1:

  • Length of each = 2 5/8 feet
  • Number of pieces = 6

Total = Length of each × Number of pieces

= 2 5/8 × 6

= 21/8 × 6

= 126 / 8

= 15 3/4 meters

Wood 2:

  • Length of each = 1 1/5 feet
  • Number of pieces = 3

Total = Length of each × Number of pieces

= 1 1/5 × 3

= 6/5 × 3

= 18/5

= 3 3/5 meters

Total amount of wood needed for the project = 15 3/4 meters + 3 3/5 meters

= 126/8 + 18/5

= (630+144) / 40

= 774/40

= 19 14/40

= 19 7/20 meters

Therefore, the total amount of wood that Harry will need for the project is nineteen and seven twentieths feet. option A
