Linda walked a total of 26 1/4 miles during a 4 day period. The distances she walked are described below.

• She walked 6 1/3 miles the first day.
• On the second day, she walked 9 1/2 miles
• She walked 5 1/4 miles on the third day.

How far did she walk on the fourth day?

Answer 1

$1st \: day + 2nd \: day + 3rd \: day + 4th \: day = 26\frac{1}{4} \\ 6\frac{1}{3} + 9\frac{1}{2} + 5\frac{1}{4} + x = 26\frac{1}{4} \\ \frac{253}{12} + x = \frac{105}{4} \\ x = \frac{105}{4} - \frac{253}{12} \\ x = \frac{31}{6} = 5\frac{1}{6}$
