Aleena has a 1-gallon watering can that is full of water.She uses 3/8gallon to water her roses and 1/3gallon to water her geraniums. How much water did Aleena use to water both the roses and geraniums?
once you find your common denominator (24) you have to do the same to the numerator. So for the roses it would be 9/24 + 8/24 which is 17/24 for both roses and geraniums
