Question

Amy ran 5/6 of a mile from her house, and then turned around and ran 3/4 of a mile back. How far does she have to go to get home?

Answer 1

Find a common denominator.

5/6 and 3/4

10/12 and 9/12.

If she ran 10/12 of a mile away and turned around and ran 9/12's back, she is 1/12 of a mile away.
