Maira planted 5 whole 3/8 rows of tulips and Sophia planted 29/5 rows of tulips.How many rows of tulips did they plant altogether?

To find the total number of rows of tulips planted by Maira and Sophia, we need to add the number of rows each of them planted.

Maira planted 5 whole 3/8 rows of tulips, which is equivalent to 5 + 3/8 = 5 3/8 rows.

Sophia planted 29/5 rows of tulips.

Now, we add the number of rows planted by Maira and Sophia:

5 3/8 + 29/5

To add these two fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 5 is 40.

Converting 5 3/8 to an improper fraction:
5 3/8 = (5 * 8 + 3) / 8 = 43/8

Now, we add the fractions:

43/8 + 29/5 = (43*5 + 29*8) / (8*5) = (215 + 232) / 40 = 447 / 40

Now, we convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number:

447 ÷ 40 = 11 with a remainder of 7

So, the total number of rows of tulips planted by Maira and Sophia altogether is 11 7/40 rows.

To add fractions with different denominators, we need to first find a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 8 and 5 is 40.

5 3/8 = 5 - 5/8 = 25/8
29/5 = 29 - 8/5 = 232/40

Therefore,
25/8 + 232/40 = (25 - 5) / (8 - 5) + 232/40
= 125/40 + 232/40
= 357/40

So, they planted a total of 357/40 = 8.925 rows of tulips.
