Question

Anyone know this

The Whittman family took a car trip. They traveled 1/5 the distance from San Antonio to Austin on Monday and 2/9 the distance on Tuesday. What fraction of the distance between San Antonio and Austin did the Whittman family travel on Monday and Tuesday?

Answer 1

Answer 19/45


You need to find a common denominator between both numbers which is 45. You multiply 1/5 by 9/9 = 9/45 and 2/9 by 5/5 = 10/45. You still need to add both numbers together so 19/45 :)
