Answer 1

Answer:

Brandon is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Brandon is running errands for his mother.

It is 1/4 mile from his house to the library and 2/3 mile from the library to the grocery store .

Brandon claims that he walked a total of 11/12 mile if he goes from his house to the library to the grocery store.

Distance from his house to the library = 1/4 mile

Distance from the library to the grocery store = 2/3 mile

Total distance Brandon walks from his house to the library to the grocery store = Distance from his house to the library + Distance from the library to the grocery store

= 1/4 + 2/3

Make both 1/4 and 2/3 have the same denominator to be able to add

The lowest common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 3 is 12

Therefore,

1/4 + 2/3

= (3+8)/12

= 11/12

Total distance Brandon walks from his house to the library to the grocery store = 11/12 mile
