Respuesta :

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  Boxes collected by Mohammed = [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

  Boxes collected by Isaac = [tex]8\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

  Boxes collected by Noah = [tex]4\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

  Boxes collected by Felix = [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

 Total boxes collected = [tex]7\frac{1}{2}+8\frac{1}{3}+4\frac{3}{4}+3\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

                = [tex]\frac{15}{2}+\frac{25}{3}+\frac{19}{4}+\frac{11}{3}=\frac{36}{3} +\frac{49}{4} =\frac{97}{4}[/tex]

                = [tex]24\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

   Option C is the correct answer.
