Question

Felipe walked 1/3 of a mile from school to

Susan's house and 11/12 of a mile from Susan's
house to his own house. How many miles did
Felipe walk in all?

Answer 1

1.25 miles or 5/4 miles or 1 1/4 miles

Explanation:

We just need to add the distance from the school to susan's house and susan's house to his house.

1/3+11/12=x

Make common denominators: 4/12+11/12=x

Combine: 15/12=x

Simplify: 5/4=x

x=5/4

5/4 miles
