Problema Solution
Latrisha is learning to drive, so this weekend she practiced driving 4/5 of a mile with her mother and another 4 2/3 miles with her father. How far did Latrisha drive in all?
Answer provided by our tutors
4/5 + 4 2/3 = 4/5 + (4*3 + 2)/3 = 4/5 + 14/3 = (4*3 + 14*5)/15 = (12 + 70)/15 = 82/15 = 5 7/15 miles
