Question

A kayaker traveled 4 5/6 miles during the first hour, and 1 1/3 miles more then the next hour. How far did he travel in 2 hours

Answer 1

11 miles

Explanation:

Given that :

Distance traveled in first hour = 4 5/6 miles

Distance traveled in the next hour = 4 5/6 + 1 1/3

Therefore, the total distance traveled in 2 hours equals :

4 5/6 miles + (4 5/6 miles + 1 1/3 miles)

29/6 + 29/6 + 4/3

L. C. M of denominator = 6

(29 + 29 + 8) / 6

= 66 / 6 miles

= 11 miles

Distance traveled in 2 hours =. 11 miles
