Answer 2

Step-by-step Solution:

We know that:

• 3 1/4 + 2 1/8 + 2 7/8 + 1 3/4 + 1 3/4 = Miles ran by Evelyn last week.

________________________________________________

Solution (Part-a):

• 3 1/4 + 2 1/8 + 2 7/8 + 1 3/4 + 1 3/4
• => 13/4 + 17/8 + 23/8 + 7/4 + 7/4
• => 26/8 + 17/8 + 23/8 + 14/8 + 14/8
• => 66/8 + 2(14/8)
• => 66/8 + 28/8
• => 94/8 miles = 11 6/8 miles
• ≅ 12 miles (Estimated)

________________________________________________

Solution (part-b)

• 3 1/4 + 2 1/8 + 2 7/8 + 1 3/4 + 1 3/4
• => 13/4 + 17/8 + 23/8 + 7/4 + 7/4
• => 26/8 + 17/8 + 23/8 + 14/8 + 14/8
• => 66/8 + 2(14/8)
• => 66/8 + 28/8
• => 94/8 miles = 11 6/8 miles (Exactly)
