linda walked 3/8 miles to the park and then another 1/12 mi to the cafe how far did she walk in total?

Sagot :

To find the answer, we have to sum the fractions.

[tex]\frac{3}{8}+\frac{1}{12}[/tex]

Let's use the following property.

[tex]\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\cdot d+c\cdot b}{b\cdot d}[/tex]

So, let's sum.

[tex]\frac{3}{8}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{3\cdot12+1\cdot8}{8\cdot12}=\frac{36+8}{96}=\frac{44}{96}=\frac{22}{48}=\frac{11}{24}[/tex]

Hence, Linda walked 11/24 miles in total.
