Solution:
we are given that
Jack planted 1 1/4 rows of lettuce in the family garden.
Rose planted 1 1/2 rows of broccoli and Calvin planted 4 5/12 rows of beans.
we have been asked to find -How many rows were planted in the garden?
To find this , we will add all the numbers of rows planted.
Hence number of rows planted
[tex] =1\frac{1}{4}+ 1\frac{1}{2}+4\frac{5}{12}\\\\=2\frac{1+2}{4}+ 4\frac{5}{12}\\\\=2\frac{3}{4}+ 4\frac{5}{12}\\\\=7\frac{1}{6} \\ [/tex]
