Please help! Thanks in advance!!! :3

Linda walked a total of 26 1/4 miles during a 4 day period. The distances she walked are described below.

• She walked 6 1/3 miles the first day.
• On the second day, she walked 9 1/2 miles
• She walked 5 1/4 miles on the third day.

How far did she walk on the fourth day?

Answer 1

`1st \: day + 2nd \: day + 3rd \: day + 4th \: day = 26(1)/(4) \\ 6(1)/(3) + 9(1)/(2) + 5(1)/(4) + x = 26(1)/(4) \\ (253)/(12) + x = (105)/(4) \\ x = (105)/(4) - (253)/(12) \\ x = (31)/(6) = 5(1)/(6)`
