period?

Answer :

Answer:

Why does he need so much rice?

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{1}{2} * \frac{3}{3} = \frac{3}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{3} *\frac{2}{2} =\frac{2}{6}[/tex]

Add the fractions

[tex]\frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Add the whole numbers

[tex]41+21=62[/tex]

Add fraction part with whole number part

[tex]62+\frac{5}{6}\\\\= 62\frac{5}{6} =62.8333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333[/tex]
