Question

You walk 1/3 miles to a grocery store. Then you walk another 1/2 miles to a music store. How many miles have you walked in all?

Answer 1

5/6 miles

Explanation:

When adding fractions with different denominators, we have to first find the LCM of the two denominators, and then multiply the fraction so that the denominator is the LCM.

The LCM of 2 and 3 is 6.

Thus, our two fractions become 2/6 and 3/6. Adding them gives us 5/6.

Answer 2

You have walked 5/6 miles
