Question

rashid walked 3/4 kilometers and then took a rest .Then he walked 1/2 kilometers more.how far did he walk altogether.... fraction word problem​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is as follows

Step-by-step explanation:

distance walked before rest = 3/4

distance walked after rest  = 1/2

total distance walked = 1/2 +3/4 km

                                = 2/4 + 3/4 km

                                 = 5/4 km

                          .

Answer 2

Given,

The distance that Rashid had covered in first part of the journey = ¾ km

The distance that Rashid had covered in first part of the journey = ½ km

To find,

The total distance travelled by him.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Here, we have to follow the general method of fractional addition.

Total travelled distance will be :

$= \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2}$

$= \frac{ (\frac{3}{4} \times 4) + ( \frac{1}{2} \times 4) }{4}$

$= \frac{(3 + 2)}{4}$

$= \frac{5}{4}$

$= 1 \frac{1}{4} km$

(The final answer can be expressed either in the form of improper fraction or mixed fraction, as per the necessity of the given question.)

Hence, Rashid walked a total distance of 1¼ km
