Answer 2

Hey there!

To solve this problem, you first add the numbers 1 1/2 and 2 1/4:

1 + 2 = 3

Try finding the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) of the fractions. . .
1/2 = 2/4
1/4 = 1/4

2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4

1 + 2 = 3
4 = 4
(Since both have the same denominator, the final denominator stays the same.)

3 + 3/4 = 3 3/4

Since there are 7 days in a week, multiply 7 x 3 3/4 . . .

7 = 7/1
3 3/4 = 15/4

7 x 15 = 105
1 x 4 = 4

105/4 = 26 1/4 <------------

Meg runs 26 1/4 miles overall in each week.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
