Question

Using the paths shown, how far is it from Seaside to Allenville?

Allenville to Hillsboro is 3 7/15
Hillsboro to Seaside is
2 4/5

Answer 1

6 4/15

Explanation:

so you need to add the equations together but to do that the bottom has to be the same

so you need to multiply 4/5 by 3 to get 12/15

and then you add 2 12/15 and 3 7/15 to get 5 19/15

but to simplify the equation you subtract 19 by 15 = 4

so the final answer is 6 4/15
