prairie street is 3 7/8 mileue is 3 5/10 miles long ellis rides his bike the length of both praire street and plains avenue how many total miles dose long plains avenue hwow many total miles dose he ride
To find the total distance that Ellis rides, we need to add the lengths of Prairie Street and Plains Avenue.
Prairie Street: 3 7/8 miles
Plains Avenue: 3 5/10 miles
To add these fractions, we need to have a common denominator. Let's convert "5/10" to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 8:
5/10 = 4/8
Now we can add the fractions:
3 7/8 + 3 4/8
To add the whole numbers, we have 3 + 3 = 6.
Now let's add the fractions:
7/8 + 4/8 = 11/8
Since 11/8 is an improper fraction, we can simplify it by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
11 ÷ 8 = 1 remainder 3
So the final fraction is 1 3/8.
Therefore, Ellis rides a total of 6 miles + 1 3/8 miles = 6 1 3/8 miles.
We can convert this mixed number into an improper fraction:
6 + 1 3/8 = 6 + 11/8
Again, to add these numbers, we need a common denominator:
6 = 48/8
Now we can add the fractions:
48/8 + 11/8 = 59/8
Therefore, Ellis rides a total of 59/8 miles.
However, if you prefer decimal form, we can convert this fraction to a decimal:
59 ÷ 8 = 7.375
So Ellis rides a total of 7.375 miles.
whats the fraction
The fraction is 59/8.
prairie street is 3 7/8 miles is 3 5/10 miles long Ellis rides his bike the length of both prairie street and plains avenue how many total miles dose long plains avenue how many total miles dose he ride
To find the total distance Ellis rides, we need to add the lengths of Prairie Street and Plains Avenue.
Prairie Street: 3 7/8 miles
Plains Avenue: 3 5/10 miles
First, let's convert the mixed fraction 3 7/8 to an improper fraction:
3 7/8 = (3 * 8 + 7)/8 = 31/8
Now, let's convert the mixed fraction 3 5/10 to an improper fraction:
3 5/10 = (3 * 10 + 5)/10 = 35/10 = 7/2
Next, let's add the distances:
31/8 + 7/2
To add these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 8. Let's convert 7/2 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 8:
7/2 = (7/2) * (4/4) = 28/8
Now, we can add the fractions:
31/8 + 28/8 = 59/8
Therefore, Ellis rides a total of 59/8 miles.
how many times dose 8 go into 59
To find out how many times 8 goes into 59, we can perform division:
59 ÷ 8 = 7 remainder 3
Therefore, 8 goes into 59 a total of 7 times.
