Question

xanthe ran one quarter of a kilometer. She took a 5 minute rets, then ran another ten eighths of a kilometer. How many kilometers did she run in total.

Answer 1

1 1/2 kilometers

Explanation:

She ran 1/4 of a kilometer and then ran another 10/8 kilometer.

The 5 minute rest is to throw people off, so ignore it.

10/8 can simplify to 5/4 kilometers, so you can add that to the first quarter of a kilometer she already traveled.

5/4 plus 1/4 equals 6/4.

6/4 can be simplified to 3/2 which is equal to one and one half.

1 1/2

Hope this helps!
