Answer:

She walked 2 7/12 miles.

Explanation:

To start, we have to make sure we can add each fraction. One multiple they all have in common is 12. So we will change the denominator to 12. Remember, what you do to one side you have to do to the other!
To turn 3/4 into a 12, multiply by 3. 3x3 is 9 and 4x3 is 12 so 9/12.
To turn 1/2 into a 12, multiply by 6. 1x6 is 6 and 2x6 is 12 so 6/12.
To turn 2/3 into a 12, multiply by 4. 2x4 is 8 and 3x4 is 12 so 8/12.
And 7/12 is already in 12ths.

From there, we have to add the numerators.
9 + 6 + 8 + 7 = 31.
Now we have 31/12. We have to simplify this into a mixed number.
31 goes into 12 two times.
So we have 2 and 7/12 miles.

Answer:

5/2, or 2.5 miles

Explanation:

Monday - 3/4 mile

Wednesday - 1/2 mile

Thursday - 2/3 mile

Saturday - 7/12 mile

Take the common denominator and add (in this case it will be 12)

9/12 + 6/12 + 8/12 + 7/12 = 30/12 = 5/2
