Miss sue has a point and what is 3/4+2/4? plz hep,l
To find the total distance Beth walked, we need to add up the distances she walked from her house to her friend's house, from her friend's house to the post office, and from the post office back to her house.
The distance Beth walked from her house to her friend's house is 1/3 mile.
The distance Beth walked from her friend's house to the post office is 1/4 mile.
The distance Beth walked from the post office back to her house is 1/2 mile.
To add these distances, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 3, 4, and 2 is 12.
To rewrite the distances with the common denominator:
1/3 mile = 4/12 mile
1/4 mile = 3/12 mile
1/2 mile = 6/12 mile
Now, we can add the distances together:
4/12 mile + 3/12 mile + 6/12 mile = 13/12 mile
The total distance Beth walked is 13/12 mile.
