Question

Meagan walked 4/10 mile to the park.she walked the same distance home.how much did she walk altogether? Write in simplest form

Answer 1

We add them up to find the total distance :

$\dfrac{4}{10} + \dfrac{4}{10} = \dfrac{8}{10} = \dfrac{4 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \dfrac{4}{5}$

$\text {She walked } \dfrac{4}{5} \text { miles}$
