Question

Joy recorded the distances she walked each day for seven days. (3 1/3, 3 1/2, 1 2/3) how far did she walk in 7 days? Enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

`Total = 8(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given

Distances: 3 1/3, 3 1/2 and 1 2/3

Required

Determine the total distance walked

Total distance is:

`Total = 3(1)/(3) + 3(1)/(2) + 1(2)/(3)`

Convert to improper fraction

`Total = (10)/(3) + (7)/(2) + (5)/(3)`

Take LCM

`Total = (20+21+10)/(6)`

`Total = (51)/(6)`

`Total = 8(1)/(2)`
