Question

Anya walked 7/10 km to the bank and then walked 3/4 km to the flower shop. What is the total distance Anya walked? Show your work. Write your answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

the answer is 1 and 9/20

work:

7/10km = 14/20km

3/4km = 15/20km

15/20+14/20=29/20km

29/20 as a mixed number is 1 and 9/20.

Answer 2

1 and 9/20

Explanation:

add your fractions together 7/10 + 3/4

make them have the same denom 14/20 + 15/20

so its 29/20

to get the mixed fraction, divide 29/20 to get 1.45. The 1 is your whole number. Subtract 20 from 29 to get 9, which is what is remaining, and will go over 20.
