Question

A park ranger hiked 1/4 mi to a lookout, another 1/3 mi to a bird's nest, and finally 5/6

Answer 1

The park ranger hike is "1.25 miles" far.

According to the question:

• Hiked to a lookout = $\frac{3}{4} \ mi$
• Hiked to a bird's nest = $\frac{1}{3} \ mi$
• Hiked to a composite = $\frac{1}{6} \ mi$

→ The total hike park ranger will be:

= $\frac{3}{4} +\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{6}$

By taking L.C.M, we get

= $\frac{9+4+2}{12}$

= $\frac{15}{12}$

= $1.25 \ mile$
