Question

Yesterday you walked 2 7/10 miles on your treadmill. Today you walked 1 6/10 miles. How far did you walk in these two days? Also I need an answer that looks like this 3 4/5

Answer 1

The answer is 4 3/10

Explanation:

If you first break this question up into two steps, you first must add the whole numbers and then the fractions, like this:

2 7/10 1 6/10

First, add the whole numbers [Bold]

2 + 1

That equals the whole number 3

2 7/10 1 6/10

Next you add the fractions [Underlined]

7/10 + 6/10

this equals 13/10

Since this fraction is higher than 10/10, it equals a whole number too. This fraction, 13/10, will be simplified to 1 whole and 3/10. After simplifying this number you add the whole numbers once again resulting in 3 + 1, giving you 4. after finding this out you add your fractions back in, creating the answer of 4 3/10.

Hope this helps you out!
