Help me again, please

Farmer Jones has three and seven-ninths haystacks in one corner of his field and two and two-thirds haystacks in the opposite corner of the same field. If he puts them all together, how many haystacks will he have?

hi gmleiva68

As far as I know, there is no standard size for a haystack.

So,... if you put them all together, ... you'll have one big haystack.

On the other hand, if you just want to add up some fractions ...
