Sagot :

Nonportrit

Answer:

[tex]5\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles all together

Explanation:

Given the following question:

[tex]3\frac{1}{6} +2\frac{2}{6}[/tex]

To find the answer we add the whole numbers, find the common denominator, then add the numerators, simplifying if needed of course.

[tex]3\frac{1}{6} +2\frac{2}{6}[/tex]
[tex]3+2=5[/tex]
[tex]cd=6[/tex]
[tex]1+2=3[/tex]
[tex]=5\frac{3}{6}[/tex]

Simplify:
[tex]=5\frac{3}{6}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{6} \div2=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]=5\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Which means Teresa swam "5 1/2" miles all together throughout the two weeks.
