Answer 2

The pair of fraction that Evan can use to find how far he walked in all is
`(5)/(8)+(7)/(12)` miles.

Explanation:

Given: Evan walked
`(5)/(8)` mile to his friends house.Then together they walked
`(7)/(12)` mile to the movie theater.

We have to find the pair of fraction that Evan can use to find how far he walked in all.

Total distance walked by Evan = Total distance Evan walked to his friend house + Distance they both travel to movie theater.

Total distance walked by Evan =
`(5)/(8)+(7)/(12)`

On solving, LCM (8, 12) = 24

Total distance walked by Evan =
`(15+14)/(24)=(29)/(24)` miles.

Thus, the pair of fraction that Evan can use to find how far he walked in all is
`(5)/(8)+(7)/(12)` miles.
