Question

Lucia walks 2 3\4 miles on Monday. On Tuesday, she walks 1 1\2 times farther. How far did Lucia walk on Tuesday?

Answer 1

First, let's simplify these fractions.  2 3/4=2.75 and 1 1/2=1.5  It says that Lucia walks 1.5 times farther on Tuesday, so just multiply 2.75 by 1.5 which comes to 4.125 miles.  Please mark Brainliest!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

$4\frac{1}{8}\text{ miles}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The distance she walked on Monday = $2\frac{3}{4}$

Let x be the distance she walked on Tuesday,

∵ she walks $1\frac{1}{2}$ times farther on Tuesday,

$\implies x = 1\frac{1}{2}\text{ times of the distance she walked on Monday}$

$=\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{11}{4}$

$=\frac{33}{8}$

$=4\frac{1}{8}$

Hence, she walked $4\frac{1}{8}$ miles on Tuesday.
