Hannah walked 1 3/4 miles in the morning and 3 2/3 miles in afternoon. How many miles did Hannah walk in all?
add them
1 3/4 miles + 3 2/3 miles = 5 5/12 miles or 65/12 miles answer//
Integers first:
1 + 3 = 4
Then the fractions.
2 3
---- + ----- =
3 4
3*3 = 9
2*4 = 8
So 9+8 = 17 on top;
3*4 = 12
So it's
17
------
12
Thats
5
1 --
4 (from earlier) + 1 (from now) = 5
and 5 over 12
Totalling to:
5 --
Miles.
You may have to put it into figures, or just leave it as fraction, but:
1/12 = 0.08333333 (you will have a calculator to work this out, if not left in fraction)
5 * 0.0833333 = 0.4166666
.
5.416 (the dot means recurring) miles.
First, lets change them both to a fraction
1 3/4 = 7/4
3 2/3 = 11/3
Change the denominator to the same, 12.
7/4 = 21/12
11/3 = 44/12
Add. 21/12 + 44/12 = 65/12 miles
Simplify. 5 5/12 miles
Answer: 5 5/12 miles
1 + 3/4 + 3 + 2/3 =
4 + 3/4 + 2/3 =
4 + 9/12 + 8/12 =
4 + 17/12 =
4 + 1 + 5/12 =
5 5/12
or
1 3/4 + 3 2/3 =
7/4 + 11/3 =
21/12 + 44/12 =
65/12 =
1¾ + 3â = 7/4 + 11/3 mixed numbers converted to improper fractions
= 21/12 + 44/12 fractions given common denominator
= 65/12
= 5 5/12 improper fraction converted to mixed number
Hannah walked a total of 5 5/12 miles
