Question

melinda rode her bike 54/100 mile to the library then she rode 4/10 mile to the store how far did melinda ride her bike in all

Answer 1

Alright. We are looking for total distance so let's start with saying we must add. To find a common denominator multiply the term (4/10) by 10. Now we have 54/100 + 40/100. This equals 94/100 which can be reduced to 47/50 miles.

Answer 2

4/10 is the equivalent of 40/100. Add that to 54/100 and the answer is 94/100
