Don rode his bike
1/4 of a mile and then walked
2/5 of a mile. How many miles did he travel?
1. 1/3 mile
2. 20/13 miles
3. 13/20 mile
4. 3/20 mile
To find the total distance Don traveled, we need to add the distance he biked and the distance he walked.
The distance he biked is 1/4 of a mile.
The distance he walked is 2/5 of a mile.
Adding these fractions, we get:
1/4 + 2/5 = (1*5 + 2*4)/(4*5) = 5/20 + 8/20 = 13/20 mile.
Therefore, Don traveled 13/20 mile. So, the correct answer is option 3.
To find out how many miles Don traveled, we need to add the distances he covered on his bike and on foot.
First, he rode his bike 1/4 of a mile.
Then, he walked 2/5 of a mile.
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 5 is 20.
Converting both fractions to have a denominator of 20, we get:
1/4 = 5/20
2/5 = 8/20
Now, we can add the fractions:
5/20 + 8/20 = 13/20
Therefore, Don traveled 13/20 mile.
So, the correct answer is 3. 13/20 mile.
To find the answer, we need to add the distances Don traveled on his bike and on foot.
First, we need to find the distance Don traveled on his bike, which is 1/4 of a mile.
Next, we need to find the distance Don traveled on foot, which is 2/5 of a mile.
To add the distances, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 20.
So, let's convert the fractions to have a denominator of 20:
- 1/4 = 5/20
- 2/5 = 8/20
Now, we can add the fractions:
5/20 + 8/20 = 13/20
Therefore, Don traveled 13/20 mile in total.
The correct answer is option 3: 13/20 mile.
