1. **State the problem:** We are given two boxes with fractions to add and letters associated with each sum. We need to solve the sums in Box A and Box B and then use the results to decode the riddle "Where does today comes before yesterday?". 2. **Add fractions in Box A:** - $\frac{8}{3} + \frac{2}{9} = \frac{24}{9} + \frac{2}{9} = \frac{26}{9}$ - $\frac{5}{9} + \frac{10}{3} = \frac{5}{9} + \frac{30}{9} = \frac{35}{9}$ - $\frac{2}{7} + \frac{4}{3} = \frac{6}{21} + \frac{28}{21} = \frac{34}{21}$ - $\frac{7}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4$ - $\frac{6}{5} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{18}{15} + \frac{5}{15} = \frac{23}{15}$ 3. **Add fractions in second part of Box A:** - $\frac{7}{3} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{14}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{15}{6} = \frac{5}{2}$ - $\frac{8}{3} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{16}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{17}{6}$ - $\frac{3}{8} + \frac{5}{4} = \frac{3}{8} + \frac{10}{8} = \frac{13}{8}$ - $\frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{10} = \frac{6}{10} + \frac{3}{10} = \frac{9}{10}$ - $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{2}{6} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{7}{6}$ - $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{9} = \frac{3}{18} + \frac{4}{18} = \frac{7}{18}$ 4. **Match sums to Box B answers and letters:** - The letters in Box A are arranged as "I C A N T" and "O D Y R H E". - The riddle answer is a phrase: "I CAN'T DO YRHE" which is likely "I CAN'T DO YRHE" but rearranged. 5. **Interpretation:** The riddle "Where does today comes before yesterday?" is a classic riddle with the answer "In the dictionary" because words are ordered alphabetically. **Final answer:** **Today comes before yesterday in the dictionary.**
