Question

Annie traveled 2/7 parts of her trip in the first hour, and then 1/8 parts in the second hour. She plans to rest when she has completed half of her trip. Is it time for Annie to rest? If it is not, what part of the trip does Annie still need to travel before she can rest?

Answer 1

No it's not time for her to rest.

She cannot test because she hasn't completed half. The fraction that's she has done will be:
= 2/7 + 1/8 = 23/56

The remaining fraction to complete half will be:
= 1/2 - 23/56
= 5/56
