Question

Pls help me ASAP pls

Answer 1

≈ 2 miles (Option B)

Explanation:

`(15)/(16)` of a mile =
`((15)/(16)) .(1 mile)` =
`(15)/(16)` mile

`(7)/(8)` of a mile =
`((7)/(8)).(1 mile)` =
`(7)/(8)` mile

Total distance Sheri walked =
`(15)/(16)`mile +
`(7)/(8)`mile

These two fractions are added to each other. Since the denominators of the two fractions have to be the same:

`(7)/(8)` can be rewritten as
`(14)/(16)` by multiplying it by 2:

∴
`(15)/(16) + (14)/(16)`

=
`(15 + 14)/(16)`

=
`(29)/(16)` miles

Enter into the calculator:

= 1.81 miles

≈ 2 miles
