Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{5} +\frac{1}{4} +\frac{3}{8} =$ Distance Janie walked

First add $\frac{1}{4} and\frac{3}{8}$ canvert 1/4 by multiplying by 2/2 to get a commmon denominator.

$\frac{1}{4} *\frac{2}{2} =\frac{2}{8}$

$\frac{2}{8} +\frac{3}{8} =\frac{5}{8}$

Now find a common denominator for 3/5 and 5/8 by multiplying 3/5 by 8/8  and 5/8 by 5/5.

$\frac{3}{5}*\frac{8}{8}=\frac{24}{40}$

$\frac{5}{8}*\frac{5}{5}=\frac{25}{40}$

Now add them.

$\frac{24}{40}+\frac{25}{40}=\frac{49}{40}=1\frac{9}{40}$miles

You can also convert all to decimals and add.

3/5 = .6

1/4 = .25

3/8 = .375

.6 + .25 + .375 = 1.225

Also 1 $\frac{9}{40}$ = 1.225
