Question

If Juliana and Brody hiked 3 2/3 trail and 2 5/6 trail how far did they hike

Answer 1

Part of trail hiked by Juliana =
`3 (2)/(3)`

Part of trail hiked by Brody =
`2 (5)/(6)`

We have to calculate that how part did they hike.

Total part of the trail hiked by Juliana and Brody is calculated by adding the part of trail hiked by them individually.

So, total distance traveled

=
`3 (2)/(3)` +
`2 (5)/(6)`

=
`(11)/(3) + (17)/(6)`

LCM of 3 and 6 is 6.

=
`(22+17)/(6)`

=
`(39)/(6)`

=
`(13)/(2)`

=
`6 (1)/(2)`

So, Juliana and Brody traveled
`6 (1)/(2)` far.
