Question

Michael drove from Orlando to Jacksonville in 2 2/3 hours. The next day he drove from Jacksonville to Savannah in 4 4/7 hours. What was Michael’s total driving time from Orlando to Savannah?

Answer 1

1. 2+4=6

2. 2X7=14

3. 4X3=12

4. 7X3=21

5. 12+14=26

6. Simplify 26/21

7. 26-21= 5 so it simplifies to 1 5/21

8.  6+1 5/21=6 5/21

Answer 2

time traveled from Orlando to Jacksonville = 2 2/3 hours

time traveled from Jacksonville to Savannah = 4 4/7 hours

So, total time traveled will be 2 2/3 + 4 4/7

convert mixed fractions to improper: 2 2/3= 8/3

                                                             4 4/7 =32/7

8/3 + 32/7

lcm = 21

96/21+ 56=+31

= 152/21

mixed fraction = 7 5/21
