Question

Veronica walked 1 1/4 mile yesterday. She walked 2 2/4 miles today. How many total miles did Veronica walk in the two days?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Well first you transfer to improper fractions.

5/4 and 10/4

Next you add the two improper fractions

5/4 + 10/4 = 15/4

The highest you can multiply is 4 by 3.

Which is 12.

So your answer is 3 3/4.

Hope this helps!
