Respuesta :

In order to calculate this, We need to make sure that both measurements have the same denominator, so we need to transform 3/4 into a fraction with denominator of 8

1  3/4  >>>     1   6/8     ( the 6 comes from 8/4  x 3)

The total material that jane need would be:

2  5/8 + 1  6/8

= 3    11/8    

= 4    3/8

The answer is option D,
