Question

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Carol = \frac{1}{8}$

$Luke = \frac{3}{8}$

Required

How far did they row together

To do this, we simply add the distance they both covered.

$Total = Carol + Luke$

This gives;

$Total = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{8}$

Take LCM

$Total = \frac{1+3}{8}$

$Total = \frac{4}{8}$

Simplify

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

Hence, they both rowed 1/2 mile
