Question

Yolanda walked 3 6/10 miles. Then she walked 41 1/2more miles. How many miles did yolanda walk?

Answer 1

Get the fractions on like denominators.

Explanation:

`41 1/2` can be written as `41+1/2*5/5=41+5/10`
(only multiplying the fraction by `1` disguised as `5/5`)

Now we can add:

`3+6/10+41+5/10=3+41+6/10+5/10=`

`44+11/10=44+10/10+1/10=45+1/10= 45 1/10` mi
