The answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
I learned it before.
Hope this helps.
Let’s put these into one fraction each:
Biking:
= (12*5)/8 miles
= 60/8 miles
This can be reduced to,
= 15/2 miles
Swimming:
= (5*2)/3 miles
= 10/3 miles
Running:
= (6*3)/8 miles
= 18/8 miles
This can be reduced to,
= 9/4
Now we add all the distances up:
= (15/2) + (10/3) + (9/4)
Now we just can add the numerators and the denominators. We must find the lowest common factor (LCF) for our 3 denominators (2,3,4). Our LCF turns out to be 12. *Remember what we do to the denominator we must do to the numerator. So:
= (15/2) + (10/3) + (9/4)
= [(15*6)/12] + [(10*4)/12] + [(9*3)/12]
= (90/12) + (40/12) + (27/12)
= (157/12)
Therefore Aaron Ran 157/12 miles or 13.08 miles.
Hope this helps!
