Karen jogs 1/2 mile. Selma jogs 1/4 mile more than Karen. Lena jogs 3/4 mile more than Selma. How far does Lena jog?
K=.5
S=.5+.25
L=.5+.25+.75=1.5 mile
This example might help:
A grocery store has 5 pounds of granola. One customer buys 2/3 pounds granola and another buys 5/6 pound. After these purchases how much granola is left?
2/3 + 4/6 + 5/6 = 9/6 =1 1/2. 5 - 1 1/2 = 3 1/2
Hope this helped! 😄 UWU
To find out how far Lena jogs, you'll need to add up the distances jogged by Karen, Selma, and Lena. Let's break it down step by step:
1. Karen jogs 1/2 mile.
2. Selma jogs 1/4 mile more than Karen. So Selma's distance is 1/2 mile + 1/4 mile = 3/4 mile.
3. Lena jogs 3/4 mile more than Selma. So Lena's distance is 3/4 mile + 3/4 mile = 6/4 mile.
Now, let's simplify the fraction:
6/4 mile can be simplified to 1 2/4 mile, which is further simplified to 1 1/2 mile.
Therefore, Lena jogs 1 and a half miles.
