Suppose that the first team member in a 3-person relay race must run 2 1/4 laps, the second team member must run 1 1/2 laps, and the third team member must run 3 5/8 laps. how many laps in all must each team run?

You need to add up all 3 mixed numbers to find the total laps.

2 + 1/4 + 1 + 1/2 + 3 + 5/8 =

(2 + 1 + 3) + (1/4 + 1/2 + 5/8) =

6 + (2/8 + 4/8 + 5/8) =

6 + (11/8) =

6 + (1 + 3/8) =

7 3/8 laps
