Question

I wanted to walk one mile each day in the morning I walked 4/10 if a mile and in the evening I walked 2/5 of a mile what was the total I walked in one day

Answer 1

You walked 8/10 (or 4/5) of a mile.

To find this, you must first make sure both fractions have a common denominator. To do so, multiply 2/5 by 2/2 to get 4/10.

Now, add both fractions. 4/10 + 4/10 = 8/10. To simplify this, simply divide 8/10 by 2/2 to get 4/5.

Thus meaning your answer is 8/10 (or 4/5) of a mile.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

4/10 is also equal to 2/5 and 2+2 equals four therefore you would get 4/5 as your final answer
