The reciprocal of one number is 2.4, and the other number is one with three fifths. What is the sum of these two numbers

The reciprocal of one number is 2.4, and the other number is one with three fifths. What is the sum of these two numbers


2.4=12/5
The reciprocal of a number is 12 / 5
So this number is 1 / (12 / 5) = 5 / 12
One and three fifths = 1 + 3 / 5 = 8 / 5
So their sum = 5 / 12 + 8 / 5 = 25 / 60 + 96 / 60 = 121 / 60 = 2 + 1 / 60
It's two and one sixties
