Question

Help please???????????

Answer 1

given:

`monday = 1 (1)/(15)`

`tuesday = 1 (3)/(5)`

`wednesday = 1 (2)/(3)`

to find:

the total number of miles Kenya ran in 3 days.

solution:

`(16)/(15) + (8)/(5) + (5)/(3)`

`= (16)/(15) + (8 * 3)/(5 * 3) + (5 * 5)/(3 * 5)`

`= (16 + 24 + 25)/(15)`

`= (65)/(15) = (13)/(3)`

`= 4 (1)/(3)`

therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Answer 2

D

Explanation:

The problem is put in different fractions to make it more confusing.

1 1/15 miles+ 1 3/5 miles+ 1 2/3 miles

We can find the common denominator of all of the fractions.

`1 (1)/(15) + 1 (9)/(15) + 1 (10)/(15) \\= 3+(20)/(15) =4 (5)/(15)\\\\=`4 1/3
