Claire and her partner, grace are throwing the javelin event as a team. claire threw the javelin 42 5/8 feet and grace threw it 39 3/5 feet. how far did they throw as a team?

82 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First things first you need the least common denominator which would be 40. Whatever is done to the bottom is done to the top so we have our new fractions 42 25/40 and 39 15/40. 39 + 42 = 81, 25 + 15 = 40, so it’s 81 40/40 which = 82 because any number over itself is 1.

Hope this helped!

the answer is 288..

hope this
