Question

9. Bryce goes och for a walk. He walks 9/8 miles from home. He walks back 1/2

mile before meeting up with his friend Mya. Write and simplify an expression (a

sum) that describes this situation.

Answer 1

Expression:

`(9)/(8)+(-(1)/(2))=(5)/(8)`

Explanation:

We are given that

Bryce traveled distance from his home=
`(9)/(8)miles`

Bryce traveled distance back=
`(1)/(2)miles`

We have to find the expression and then simplify.

According to question

Total distance traveled by Bryce

=
`(9)/(8)+(-(1)/(2))`

This is required expression.

Total distance traveled by Bryce=
`(9-4)/(8)=(5)/(8)miles`

Hence, the total distance traveled by Bryce from his home=
`(5)/(8)miles`
