Question

Nolan watched a beetle on the sidewalk. It crawled 7/12 of a yard, then rested for a bit, and then crawled 1/4 of a yard farther. How far did the beetle crawl in all?

a. 4/12
b. 1/3
c. 9/12
d. 5/6

Answer 1

d, because 1/4 is equivalent to 4/12 and 7/12+4/12=11/12 which is equivalent to 5/6
