Lezlie hiked 3/8 of a mile on Monday. On Wednesday she hiked 3/6 of a mile. She hiked 3/4 of a mile on Friday. Use benchmark num
Gnoma [55]
She walked the most on Friday because you have to find the LCD. The LCD is 24.
For example, to change the denominator of 4 to 24, you must divide 24 divided by 4 which equals 6. Since your answer was 6, you have to multiply both numbers, which are 3 and 4, by 6.
So, 4 times 6 is 24. This is the denominator and 4 times 3 is 18. This is the numerator.
If you do the same with all of the fractions then you will have the fractions of, 18 over 24, 12 over 24, and 9 over 24.
Look at all the numerators (the number on top of the fraction) and decide which one is the biggest.
18 is the biggest and since the fraction 18 over 24 was originally 3 over 4, this means that she walked the most on Friday.

A mountain climber is at an elevation of 10,712 feet. After 4 hours, he is at an elevation of 8,884 feet. Find the climber’s ver
Illusion [34]
I am not sure about the formula but if you subtract 8,884 from 10,712 you get 1,828. Then, if you divide that by 4 you get 457. 457 fph(feet per hour) should be the climbers vertical speed.
