ANSWER PLS ABOUT FRACTIONS

Answer 1

Explanation:

`(3)/(5) +(1)/(4) +(3)/(8) =` Distance Janie walked

First add
`(1)/(4) and(3)/(8)` canvert 1/4 by multiplying by 2/2 to get a commmon denominator.

`(1)/(4) *(2)/(2) =(2)/(8)`

`(2)/(8) +(3)/(8) =(5)/(8)`

Now find a common denominator for 3/5 and 5/8 by multiplying 3/5 by 8/8 and 5/8 by 5/5.

`(3)/(5)*(8)/(8)=(24)/(40)`

`(5)/(8)*(5)/(5)=(25)/(40)`

Now add them.

`(24)/(40)+(25)/(40)=(49)/(40)=1(9)/(40)`miles

You can also convert all to decimals and add.

3/5 = .6

1/4 = .25

3/8 = .375

.6 + .25 + .375 = 1.225

Also 1
`(9)/(40)` = 1.225
