Question

Amit covered 7 5/12 kilometre in 2 hours on bicycle and 4 3/8 kilometre in another 1 hour on food . find the total distance covered by Amit in 3 hours?

Answer 1

At first, let's see the hints that are given in the question:

Distance covered in 2 hours: 7 5/12

Distance covered in 1 hour: 4 3/8

Now, the given numbers are in mixed fraction, so, we will need to convert them into an improper fraction.

Now,

Distance covered in 2 hours: 89/12

Distance covered in 1 hour: 35/8

Now, we will add these two numbers that we got after the conversion.

89/12 + 35/8

We will need to take the L.C.M. first for adding the numbers. The L.C.M. will be: 24

So, now

178+105/ 24

Final answer in improper fraction will be:

283/24

If we convert this number in the mixed fraction, we will get:

11 19/24

Or we can also find the exact kilometres by solving the fraction, which will be:

11.79 km
