Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the total width of the scarf, add the widths of the individual stripes: $2 \frac{1}{2} + 1 \frac{1}{3} + 2 \frac{2}{9}$. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: $\frac{5}{2} + \frac{4}{3} + \frac{20}{9}$. Find a common denominator (18) and add: $\frac{45}{18} + \frac{24}{18} + \frac{40}{18} = \frac{109}{18}$, which simplifies to $6 \frac{1}{18}$ inches.
