Question

If you walk 5/6 miles and then jog 1/5 miles, what is the totally distance covered? How much further did you walk than jog?

Answer 1

1 1/30 miles

Explanation:

Add the distances together to find the total distance

5/6 + 1/5

We need a common denominator of 30

5/6*5/5 = 25/30

1/5 +6/6 = 6/30

25/30 + 6/30 = 31/ 30

Changing from an improper fraction to a mixed number

1 1/30 miles
