Question

winnie and kevin like to create their own triathlon courses to challenge each other. last weekend, winnie created a course that included a swim of 3/4 of a mile, a bike ride of 57/4 miles and a run of 13/4 miles. how long was the course winnie created?

Answer 1

If you add all of the numerators together
3+57+13= 73
Then you would divide that number by 4
73/4= 18.25
So the course would be 18.25 or 18 1/4 miles long.
