Joy recorded the distances she walked each day for seven days. (3 1/3, 3 1/2, 1 2/3) how far did she walk in 7 days? Enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Total = 8\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distances: 3 1/3, 3 1/2 and 1 2/3

Required

Determine the total distance walked

Total distance is:

$Total = 3\frac{1}{3} + 3\frac{1}{2} + 1\frac{2}{3}$

Convert to improper fraction

$Total = \frac{10}{3} + \frac{7}{2} + \frac{5}{3}$

Take LCM

$Total = \frac{20+21+10}{6}$

$Total = \frac{51}{6}$

$Total = 8\frac{1}{2}$
