Thanks for coming

over to help

organize my closet!

No problem.

I live to

organize.

Sure.

I bought a really great

new closet organizer! I

can’t wait to install it!

I‘m not sure this will fit

in your closet. It seems

a bit big.

Uh oh.

It says that the

size of each storage

cube is 18 _^34 '' and

there are three of

them.

I‘ll measure the space,

then we can figure it

out.

I measured the

closet rod, and it is

12 _^78 ''. I wrote

it all down.

YIKES!!

Fractions! How

are we going to

add them up??

We are

doomed!!

Theresa, just

breathe! We can

figure it out!

You will solve this

problem in the chapter.

figure it out!

l thi

re it out!

Your Turn!Your Turn!
