Question

On Monday Sophie ran 4 5/6 laps of a running track and on Tuesday she ran 5 3/4

of a running track. What was the total distance she ran over the two days?

Answer 1

10 7/12

hope this is right

Explanation:

4 5/6 = 29/6 as an improper fraction

5 3/4 = 23/4 as an improper fraction

you times the two denominators together = 24

you times 29 by 4 = 116

you times 23 by 6 = 138

you add 116 and 138 = 254

you put this over 24 = 254/24

simplify this = 127/12

you make this a mixed number = 10 7/12

the answer is 10 7/12
