Question

Last week Jason walked 3 1/4 miles each day for 3 days and 4 5/8 miles each day for 4 days. About how many miles did Jason walk last week?

Answer 1

$9\frac{3}{4} + 18\frac{4}{8} = \frac{39}{4} + \frac{144}{8} = \frac{78}{8} + \frac{144}{8} = \frac{222}{8} = 27 \frac{6}{8} = 27 \frac{3}{4}$
so 27 3/4 is the answer
