Question

Sam ran 3 1/4 miles on Tuesday and then ran 2 5/6 miles on Wednesday. How many total miles did Sam run ?

Answer 1

Answer:

6  1/12 miles total

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/4 = 13/4

2 5/6 = 17/6        to ADD fractions, you must have a common denominator

                              I will use 12   for these

13/4 = 39/12

17/6 = 34 /12

now you can add and simplify     39/12 + 34/12 = 73/12 = 6 1/12  miles
