Explanation:

From the table, on

Monday = 3 2/5

Wednesday = 4 1/2

Write the distance in improper fractions as;

Monday = 17/5

Wednesday = 9/2

Find the sum as

`(17)/(5) +(9)/(2) =(34+45)/(10) =(79)/(10)`

where the L.C.M is 10

Answer is 7.9 miles

b.

Distance covered on Thursday and Saturday will be

2 2/6 + 3 3/4

14/6 + 15/4 ------the L.C.M is 12

(28+45)/12

73/12

The distance 73/12 miles for Thursday + Saturday is less than that of Monday + Wednesday 79/10 miles. The answer is NO.
