The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how much Sudhir and Mukesh mowed together, we need to add the fractions representing the portions of their lawns that they mowed. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the fractions:** - Sudhir mowed \( \frac{2}{7} \) of his lawn. - Mukesh mowed \( \frac{9}{10} \) of his lawn. 2. **Add the fractions:** To add the fractions \( \frac{2}{7} \) and \( \frac{9}{10} \), we need a common denominator. 3. **Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators:** - The denominators are 7 and 10. - The LCM of 7 and 10 is 70. 4. **Convert each fraction to have the common denominator:** - For \( \frac{2}{7} \): \[ \frac{2}{7} = \frac{2 \times 10}{7 \times 10} = \frac{20}{70} \] - For \( \frac{9}{10} \): \[ \frac{9}{10} = \frac{9 \times 7}{10 \times 7} = \frac{63}{70} \] 5. **Add the converted fractions:** \[ \frac{20}{70} + \frac{63}{70} = \frac{20 + 63}{70} = \frac{83}{70} \] 6. **Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number:** - Divide 83 by 70: - 70 goes into 83 once (1 time). - Remainder: \( 83 - 70 = 13 \). - Thus, \( \frac{83}{70} = 1 \frac{13}{70} \). ### Final Answer: Sudhir and Mukesh mowed together \( \frac{83}{70} \) or \( 1 \frac{13}{70} \) of their lawns. ---
