Rosa needs to mail two packages. one weighs 5/8 of a pound and the other weighs 2/3 of a pound. what is the total weight of the two packages? how much heavier is rosa's second package than the first?

Package #1 = 5/8
Package #2 = 2/3

So for both fractions (5/8 and 2/3), we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common factor of 8 and 3 is 24.

1. Multiply 5/8 by 3



2. Multiply 2/3 by 8



3. Simplify 





The total weight of the two packages is 1 and 7/24

Package #1 = 15/24
Package #2 = 16/24

Subtract:


The second package is 1/24 heavier than the first package.

If your asking how much altogether for 12 performance the answer will be 98,496.
