Question

Jeremiah jogged 3 3/4 miles on Saturday morning and 2 1/2 miles Saturday evening. How many miles did he jog on Saturday?

Answer 1

Answer:

$6\frac{1}{4}$  miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Total miles jogged on Saturday = Miles jogged morning + miles jogged eveming

total miles jogged = $3\frac{3}{4}$ +$2\frac{1}{2}$

add whole numbers first = 3+2 = 5

Add fractions = $\frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$

   Make denominator  a factor of 4 and 2

                  $\frac{3+2}{4}$  =$\frac{5}{4}$ = $1\frac{1}{4}$

Add 5 + $1\frac{1}{4}$ = $6\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 2

Answer:

6.25 Miles

6 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 2 = 5 MILES

1/2 you want the denominator to equal 4 so you times it by two

= 2/4

2/4+3/4= 5/4

this gives you one full mile and 1/4

add all together 5+1+1/4

I am picking this is right :)
