The science club and the French club both ordered pizzas for their end-of-year banquets. After the banquets, the science club had 1 1/4 pizzas leftover and the French club had 2 5/24 pizzas leftover. Between the two clubs, how many total pizzas were leftover?

A. 23/24

B. 1 1/4

C. 3 1/4

D. 3 11/24

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]3\frac{11}{24}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Leftover pizza from the Science club = [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Left over pizza from french club  = [tex]2\frac{5}{24}[/tex]

Unknown;

Total left over pizzas between the two clubs = ?

Now to solve problem, simply add the leftover from the science club and the french club together;

      Total left over pizza  = [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex]   + [tex]2\frac{5}{24}[/tex]  

                                         = [tex]\frac{5}{4} + \frac{53}{24}[/tex]  

                                         =  [tex]\frac{83}{24}[/tex]

                                         = [tex]3\frac{11}{24}[/tex]

The total left over pizza between the two clubs is [tex]3\frac{11}{24}[/tex]
