Correct Question is:

Jenny walked 2 3/8 miles on Monday and 1 7/8 miles on Tuesday. How many miles did she walk on Monday and Tuesday all together? What number model would you use?

a. 2 3/8 - 1 7/8

b. 2 3/8 + 1 7/8

c. 23/8 + 17/8

d. none of these

Answer:

b. 2 3/8 + 1 7/8

Explanation:

As the sum of both Monday and Tuesday miles are required therefore both fractions will be added up as mentioned in option B of the question.

remaining are wrong as both fractions cannot be subtracted, and option c is wrong because 2 (3/8) is not equals to 23/8 and 1 (7/8) is not equals to 17/8.
