April Sullivan · Answer 1

Just add these all up to get the amount for the whole board. So 3 + 1 + 2 = 6 then 1/6 + 5/6 + 5/6 = 11/6 = 1 5/6 + 6 = 7 5/6

Keira Stevenson · Answer 2

Add the individual pieces.

2 5/6 + 3 1/6 + 1 5/6 = 6 11/6

change the 11/6 to a mixed number 1 5/6

to make a total of 7 5/6
