Question

Jasmine Walks 1/2 Mile to school after school, she wore a 1/3 mile to her aunt's house. afterwards she walked 5/6 mile home. if Jasmine walks the same path every day Monday through Friday how many miles does she walk in one week?​

Answer 1

Answer: 8 1/3

Explanation:

First I would create common denominators by multiplying each denominator which turns out to be 6. then i would add all the fractions (3/6 + 2/6 + 5/6) to get 10/6. You can simplify it by dividing by 2 to get 5/3 which is 1 and 2/3. Then you multiply 1 and 2/3 to get 8 and 1/3

Answer 2

She walks w miles in one week.

Explanation:

Jasmine Walks
`(1)/(2)` Mile to school after school.

She wore a \frac{1}{3} mile to her aunt's house.

She walked
`(5)/(6)` mile home.

Total distance traveled =
`(1)/(2)+(1)/(3) +(5)/(6)`

=
`(5)/(3)`

Jasmine walks the same path every day Monday through Friday i.e. 5 days

Total distance traveled in 1 day =
`(5)/(3)`

Total distance traveled in 5 day =
`(5)/(3) * 5`

= 3 miles

Hence she walks w miles in one week.
