Question

on a lake, Carol rowed a boat for 1/8 mile. Then luke rowed the boat for 3/8 mile. how far did carol and like row in all? simplify the answer if possible help pls

Answer 1

`Total = (1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given

`Carol = (1)/(8)`

`Luke = (3)/(8)`

Required

How far did they row together

To do this, we simply add the distance they both covered.

`Total = Carol + Luke`

This gives;

`Total = (1)/(8) + (3)/(8)`

Take LCM

`Total = (1+3)/(8)`

`Total = (4)/(8)`

Simplify

`Total = (1)/(2)`

Hence, they both rowed 1/2 mile
