If N collected 4/20lb of cloth and Z collected 7/8lb of cloth.

Which girl collected more.
How much did they collect totally?

(Please write out how you got your answer so that I know how to do future problems like this and so I can make up my own to practice with) thank you!

Respuesta :

first you need to give both fractions a common denominator lets say 40. So N would be 8/40 and Z would be 35/40, so Z collected more than N. All together they collected 43/40 which simplifies to be 1 and 2/40 which would again simplify to 1 and 1/20.
