Question

Terry walks 1/4 mile each morning

and 2/4 mile each afternoon. How far does Terry walk in 3 days? Draw bar diagrams and write equations to solve
the problem

Answer 1

1 1/2

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find how many miles Terry walks in one day. Then, we can multiply by 3 to find how far she walks in three days.

One day |

We need to add how much she walks in both the morning and afternoon. 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4 miles.

Three days |

Now that we know how much Terry walks in one day, we need to find how much she walks in three days. Multiple by 3 to solve this.

3/4 * 3 = 6/4 = 3/2

You can write 3/2 as an improper fraction: 1 1/2.
