Question

Eloise runs 1 3/4 miles on Monday and 2 3/4 miles on Tuesday.

How many miles does Eloise run altogether?

Enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form by filling in the boxes.

Answer 1

You need to look at the whole numbers which are 1 and 2, then add those numbers together. Equalling to 3.

Now look at 3/4 and 3/4, since the denominators are the same add those fraction together and you'll get 6/4 now divide the 6 by 4 and divide the 4 by 4 and you'll get 1 and 2/4.

now add the last whole number to your 3 and you'll have 4 2/4 or 4 1/2

So Eloise ran 4 2/4 miles altogether
