Full solution

Q. David used 2142\frac{1}{4} feet of cloth to make a shirt. He also used 313\frac{3}{13}
  1. Convert to Improper Fraction: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction for easier calculation.\newline214=(2×4+1)/4=942 \frac{1}{4} = (2\times 4 + 1)/4 = \frac{9}{4}
  2. Add Fractions: Add the two fractions: 94\frac{9}{4} (from step 11) and 313\frac{3}{13}. To add fractions, find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 44 and 1313 is 5252. (94)(1313)=11752(\frac{9}{4}) \cdot (\frac{13}{13}) = \frac{117}{52} (313)(44)=1252(\frac{3}{13}) \cdot (\frac{4}{4}) = \frac{12}{52} 11752+1252=12952\frac{117}{52} + \frac{12}{52} = \frac{129}{52}
  3. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction 12952\frac{129}{52}. The GCF of 129129 and 5252 is 11, so the fraction is already in its simplest form.
