Samuel walks in the labor Day parade. He walks 3 1/4 miles along the parade route and 2 5/6 miles home. How many miles does Samuel walk? (A) 5/10 mile (B) 5 1/12 miles (C) 5 11/12 miles (D) 6 1/12 miles

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

change 2 5/6 to 2 10/12 by multiplying top and bottom by two. Then change 3 1/4 to 3 3/12 by multiplying the top and bottom by 3, this gives these fractions the same denominator. Then add these and get 5 13/12 which will be 6 1/12
