Question

Yesterday, Annie walked 9/10 mile to her friends house. Together, they walked 1/3 mile to the library. Which is the best estimate for how far Annie walked yesterday?

Answer 1

0.9 + 0.333 = 1.233 miles
so about 1 1/2 miles or 1 1/4

Answer 2

Total distance traveled by annie is
`(37)/(30)` mile.

Explanation:

Distance covered by annie to her friend's house is

`(9)/(10)` mile.

After there , annie and her friend travelled
`(1)/(3)` mile to the library.

We have to find the total distance covered by annie which can be find by adding total distance traveled by her,

Total distance traveled by annie = distance traveled to friend's house + distance traveled to library.

=
`(9)/(10)+(1)/(3)`

Solving it further, we get

=
`(27+10)/(30)`

=
`(37)/(30)`

Thus, Total distance traveled by annie is
`(37)/(30)` mile.
