Answer:
She swam a total distance of 2 1/4 miles in those three days.
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so- The first thing you need to do is make all denominators equal to make these fractions able to be added together. So, I made all denominators 12. (Tell me if you don't know how to make them all the same denominator, and I'll be happy to help!)
2/3 = 8/12
3/4 = 9/12
5/6 = 10/12
Then, I added the numerators together. Like this:
8 + 9 + 10 = 27
So, this would be:
27/12
Lastly, I changed this improper fraction to a mixed number. I multiplied the denominator twice because it looked like it would be closest to 27 without going over.
12 * 2 = 24
The "2" will be the whole number in the mixed fraction. Now, I'm going to subtract 24 from the numerator.
27 - 24 = 3
2 3/12
After simplified, the fraction will be:
2 1/4
