Question

the brown horse runs 3/12 of a mile. the black horse runs 4/12 of a mile. how many miles total do black and brown horses run?

Answer 1

7/12

Explanation:

The problem is asking for the total amount, so you add both fractions. Because both fractions have common denominators, you can just add the numerators (the top numbers of the fractions) to get your answer. 4 + 3 = 7. So, black and horses run a total of 7/12 miles. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

7/12

Explanation:

3 + 4 = 7

12 12 12

You dont change the bottom (forgot what its called) if the other fraction has the same bottom
