Peter bought 1/2 a pound of chocolate at rocky mountain chocolate factory. Later he went to the sweet shoppie and he bought 6/9 of a pound more chocolate. How much chocolate did he buy that day?

Correct answer:

m =  1.1667 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a={\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}=0.5\text{ lb } \\ b={\displaystyle \frac{6}{9}}={\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}}\doteq 0.6667\text{ lb } \\ m=a+b=0.5+0.6667={\displaystyle \frac{7}{6}}\text{ lb}=1.1667\text{ lb} \end{gathered}$$
