Answer 1

Complete Question:

Maria rode her bike for three-fifths of a mile on Monday and one-fifth of a mile on Tuesday. How many miles did she ride altogether?

Group of answer choices.

A. 1/5

B. 3/10

C. 7/5

D. 4/5

Answer:

D. 4/5

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance covered on Monday, D1 = 3/5 miles

Distance covered on Tuesday, D2 = 1/5 miles

Total distance covered, Td = D1 + D2

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`Td = \frac {3}{5} + \frac {1}{5}`

Lowest common denominator (LCD) = 5

`Td = \frac {3 + 1}{5}`

Td = 4/5 miles.

Therefore, Maria rode 4/5 miles altogether.
