Question

Last​ weekend, a herd of antelope moved to better grazing land. The herd traveled 11nine tenths miles on​ Friday, 17one fifth miles on​ Saturday, and 14one fifth miles on Sunday. How far did the herd migrate to the better grazing​ land? If the herd had traveled the total distance in equal​ parts, how far would the herd have moved each​ day?

Answer 1

The herd migrated a total of 43 3/10 miles and migrated about 14 13/30 miles a day.

Explanation:

11 9/10 + 17 1/5 + 14 1/5 =

11 9/10 + 17 2/10 + 14 2/10 =

29 1/10 + 14 2/10 =

43 3/10

43 3/10 divided by 3/1 =

433/10 x 1/3 =

433/30 =

14 13/30
