How many silly straws do Ms. Joseph and Ms. Lawrie have altogether? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! S has 48
5/6 of that is 40 for Ms. J.
7/12 of that is 28 for Ms. L
The two of them have 68 together
can add (5/6)+(7/12) to get 17/12 of S or 17/12 x 48=68.
