Question

Jia rode her bike 7 7/8 miles in the morning and another 6 5/8 miles in the afternoon. How many miles did she ride altogether

Answer 1

Answer:

14 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

=7 + 7/8 + 6 + 5/8

Solving the whole number parts

7 + 6=13

Solving the fraction parts

7/8 + 5/8= 12/8

Reducing the fraction part, 12/8,

12/8=3/2

Simplifying the fraction part, 3/2,

3/2=1 1/2

Combining the whole and fraction parts

13 + 1 + 12=14 1/2
