Annie walked her dog 2 1/4 miles from her house to the dog park and 3/7/8 miles around the park.Then she walked the same distance home.How many miles did she walk in all?
2 2/8 + 3 7/8 = 5 9/8 = 6 1/8 mile
6 1/8 + 6 1/8 = ?
Trash dont believe non of this stuff this can be a little kid telling you this stuff
Uh wow this is really old
yeah
How did you figure that out.Iam trying to explain to my 4 th grader
When we add or subtract fractions, we must have a common denonimator.
2 1/4 = 2 2/8
When I added the two fractions, I added the whole numbers and the numerators. That is 5 9/8. But since 9/8 is larger than 1, I simplified the fraction to 6 1/8.
Which part doesn't the child understand?
9/8 when you simplified it.
If you divide two pizzas into 8ths, you have 8 in one pizza and 8 in the other pizza. 9/8 is all of the pieces in one plus one piece from the other.
You might draw a picture for the child showing the two pizzas.
Me need anser NOW
To find out how many miles Annie walked in all, we need to add up the distances she walked from her house to the dog park, around the park, and back home.
First, let's convert the mixed number 2 1/4 to an improper fraction. We do this by multiplying the whole number (2) by the denominator (4) and adding the numerator (1). This gives us a numerator of 9: 2 * 4 + 1 = 9. So, 2 1/4 can be written as 9/4.
Now, we can add the distances she walked:
Distance from house to the dog park = 9/4 miles
Distance around the park = 3/7/8 miles (this is an improper fraction, so we need to convert it to a mixed number)
Distance from the park back home = 9/4 miles (since she walked the same distance back)
Next, let's convert the improper fraction 3/7/8 to a mixed number. To do this, we multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (8) and add the numerator (7). This gives us a numerator of 31: 3 * 8 + 7 = 31. So, 3/7/8 can be written as 31/8.
Now, we can add the distances:
9/4 miles + 31/8 miles + 9/4 miles
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The smallest number that both 4 and 8 divide into evenly is 8. So, let's rewrite the fractions with a denominator of 8:
(9/4) * (2/2) = 18/8
(31/8) * (1/1) = 31/8
(9/4) * (2/2) = 18/8
Now we have:
18/8 miles + 31/8 miles + 18/8 miles
Adding the numerators gives us:
(18 + 31 + 18) / 8 = 67/8 miles
Since this is an improper fraction, we can convert it to a mixed number. The whole number part will be the quotient when we divide the numerator (67) by the denoiminator (8), and the remainder will be the new numerator:
67 ÷ 8 = 8 remainder 3
So, the total distance Annie walked is 8 3/8 miles.
