Problema Solution
Alex rode 1 3/4 miles and Tim rode 2/3 mile farther than Alex. How many miles did the two boys ride in all
Answer provided by our tutors
To solve this you just have to add the two given fractions.
Alex rode 1 3/4 miles
1 3/4 = 7/4
Tim rode 2/3 miles further than Alex:
7/4 + 2/3 = (21 + 8)/12 = 29/12
Together, they rode:
7/4 + 29/12 = (21+29)/12 = 50/12 = 4 2/12 = 4 1/6 miles
