Yesterday, Lester walked 1/2 of a mile from the swimming pool to the ice cream stand and 1/6 of a mile from the ice cream stand back home. How many miles did Lester walk in all?

Answer 1

find a common denominator. 6 is a common denominator so that 1/2 and 1/6 can be added together. so, times 1/2 by 3/3 to get the common denominator of 6.

1/2 x 3/3 is equal to 3/6. 3/6 plus 1/6 is 4/6.

he wakes 4/6 miles in all.
