Question

Amir walks 3 4/10 kilometers one day and 2 22/100 kilometers the next day. How many kilometers does Amir walk in all?

Answer 1

5
`(31)/(50)` kilometers

Explanation:

3
`(4)/(10)` + 2
`(22)/(100)`

2
`(22)/(100)` can be written 2
`(11)/(50)` (
`(22)/(100)` ÷
`(2)/(2)`)

3
`(4)/(10)` can be written 3
`(20)/(50)` (
`(4)/(10)` x
`(5)/(5)`)

Now that both fractions have the same denominator we can ad them

2
`(11)/(50)` + 3
`(20)/(50)` = 5
`(31)/(50)`
