Question

A bulldozer weighed 3 2 over 5 tons. If it scooped up 5 5 over 8 tons of sand, what would be the combined weight of the bulldozer and the sand?

  1. 9 3 over 40 t o n e s
  2. 9 7 over 40
  3. 8 1 over 40 t o n e s
  4. 9 1 over 40 t o n e s

hintHint:

Simply add the fractions and convert the improper fraction in the end to mixed fraction.

The correct answer is: 9 1 over 40 t o n e s


    Step 1:
    Weight of bulldozer = 3 2 over 5tons
    Weight of sand = 5 5 over 8 tons
    Step 2:
    Combined weight of bulldozer and sand
    equals 3 2 over 5 t o n e s plus 5 5 over 8 t o n s equals 17 over 5 plus 45 over 8
equals 136 over 40 plus 225 over 40 equals 361 over 40 equals 9 1 over 40 t o n s

    Know the steps to add fractions.
