From the table, on
Monday = 3 2/5
Wednesday = 4 1/2
Write the distance in improper fractions as;
Monday = 17/5
Wednesday = 9/2
Find the sum as
[tex]\frac{17}{5} +\frac{9}{2} =\frac{34+45}{10} =\frac{79}{10}[/tex]
where the L.C.M is 10
Answer is 7.9 miles
b.
Distance covered on Thursday and Saturday will be
2 2/6 + 3 3/4
14/6 + 15/4 ------the L.C.M is 12
(28+45)/12
73/12
The distance 73/12 miles for Thursday + Saturday is less than that of Monday + Wednesday 79/10 miles. The answer is NO.
