Question

Amy and Myra each walked from their houses to the mall. Amy walked one half a mile and Myra walked two-thirds of a mile. How far did the girls walk all together?

A. 3/5
B. 5/6
C. 1 1/6
D. 1 5/6

Answer 1

C. 1 1/6

Explanation:

One half means 1/2

Two-thirds means 2/3

All together is adding both the miles the girls walked so...

1/2 + 2/3

= 3/6 + 4/6

= 7/6

= 1 1/2
