Answer:
B 61 1/2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The longest flower is 8 1/2 inches
There are 2 flowers that are 7 3/4 inches
There are 5 flowers that are 7 1/2 inches
That makes 8 flowers
8 1/2 + 2(7 3/4) + 5 (7 1/2) = total length of flowers
Distribute
8 1/2 + 14 6/4 + 35 5/2
Add the whole numbers
8+14+35 = 57
Now we add the fractions
1/2 + 6/4+5/2
1/2+5/2 = 6/2 =3
6/4 = 3/2 = 1 1/2
3 + 1 1/2 = 4 1/2
Whole numbers plus fractions
57 + 4 1/2
61 1/2 inches
