Question

Nora jogs 4 1/4miles on Monday. She jogs 1 1/2 fewer miles on Tuesday. Write and evaluate an addition expression to find how many miles Nora jogs on Tuesday.

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation: 4 1/4 + 1 3/4

Evaluation: 5 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Nora jobs 4 1/4 miles on Monday, which is 1 1/2 miles fewer than on Tuesday.

If this was 1.5 fewer miles, we need to add 1 1/2 and 4 1/4  to get our answer

We change the denominator on 1 1/2 to be 4. So, we multiply both sides by 2 and get 1 2/4

4 1/4 + 1 2/4 = 5 3/4
