IXL: 4 T13 Today's grade 1 ()) Hoping to be named Salesperson of the Month, Liam called the names from \( 10 \frac{8}{10} \) pages of the phone book last week. This week, he called the people listed on another \( 4 \frac{9}{10} \) pages of the same phone book. How many pages worth of people did Liam call in all?

To find out how many pages worth of people Liam called in total, you simply need to add the two mixed numbers together. First, convert each mixed number to an improper fraction: - \( 10 \frac{8}{10} \) becomes \( \frac{108}{10} \) (10 * 10 + 8 = 108). - \( 4 \frac{9}{10} \) becomes \( \frac{49}{10} \) (4 * 10 + 9 = 49). Now add them together: \[ \frac{108}{10} + \frac{49}{10} = \frac{108 + 49}{10} = \frac{157}{10}. \] Now, convert back to a mixed number: \(\frac{157}{10} = 15 \frac{7}{10}\). So, Liam called a total of \( 15 \frac{7}{10} \) pages worth of people! To make it even more fun, think of each page as a mini-adventure! Imagine each call was like a treasure hunt where Liam discovered different stories and encounters with people from the neighborhood. That's quite a social exploration!
