Question

Mahesh travel 3 1/2 km by bus and 1 1/8 by walking to reach City. How long he has travelled to reach a city

Answer 1

Answer:

ok lets make mixed into improper fraction

$3 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 3 + 1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$

now we have two fractions to add

$\frac{7}{2} + \frac{11}{8}$

LCM of 2 and 8 =8

11/8 has aldready 8 as denominator

$\frac{7 \times 4}{2 \times 4} = \frac{28}{8}$

now lets add

$\frac{28 + 11}{8} = \frac{39}{8} = 4\frac{7}{8}$

he travelled 4. 7/8 km
