Question

The library is 25/500 kilometers from Neil school and track field is 3/10 kilometers directly beyond the library what is the total distance from the school to track field Explain how you found the total distance

Answer 1

To determine the distance from the School to Track Field, we will sum the distances from the School to the Library with the distance of the library untill the Track Field:

`D_{\text{total}}=(25)/(500)+(3)/(10)`

we need to put both fractions with the same denominator, as follows:

`\begin{gathered} D_{\text{total}}=(25)/(500)+(150)/(500)=(25+150)/(500)=(175)/(500) \\ we\text{ can simplify the fraction:} \\ D_{\text{total}}=(7)/(20) \end{gathered}`

From the solution developed above, we are able to determine that the distance from the school to Track Field is equal to 7/20 kilometers, and it was determined by summing the distances from School to Library, with the distance of the library until the Track Field.
