Meg bought two pieces of ribbon yo decorate s picture frame. one piece was 3/5 yard long. the other pice was 1/2 yard long. what is the total length of ribbon meg bought? use words, pictures, or numbers to justify your answer.

She bought 1 and 1/10 yards of ribbon. You get this answer if you convert the two measurements to have a common denominator. The lowest common denominator is 10.

You have to convert 3/5 yards to 6/10 yards. You convert 1/2 yards to 5/10 yards.

Then you add the two new measurements.

6/10 plus 5/10 equals 11/10 or 1  1/10
