Jenny needs to sew two pieces of fabric together. One of the pieces is 3 1/12 inches and the other one is 6 5/8. What is the length of the pierce of fabric

9 17/24in

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/12 + 6 5/8 = length of fabric

We can add 3 and 6 since they are whole inches.

3 + 6 = 9

Now we add the fractions

1/12 + 5/8

We need to find a common denominator.

Each number goes into 24 so

1/12*(2/2) = 2/24      and     5/8*(3/3) = 15/24

2/24 + 15/24 = 17/24

So the total length of fabric is 9 17/24in
