Question

Len walks 3/10 mile in the morning and 2/5 mile in the afternoon

len says that he walks a total of 5/15 mile in the morning and afternoon

Answer 1

Hey There!

Steps to solve (Please note, steps will be in numerical order.)


1.To start off you have to find the lCD of
`(3)/(10)` and
`(2)/(5)` . So, the LCD of both fractions is ten.

2. Now, rewrite the fraction
`(3)/(10)` to
`(4)/(10)` , since the lcd is 10 you have to multiply the numerator and denominator of
`(2)/(5)` by two.

3. You only have to add
`(3)/(10)` +
`(4)/(10)`

4. First, add the numerators 3+4 which is 7. Remember when adding fractions the denominator stays the same.

5. In conclusion, you're final answer should be
`(7)/(10)`, so Len's statement was false and he walked total
`(7)/(10)` steps.

Hope This Helped :)
