Question

Shikhar covers 2 3/8 km on foot and 5 3/4 km on bicycle find the total distance covered by shikhar

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance shikhar covers on foot = 2 3/8= 19/8

Distance he covers by bicycle = 5 3/4 = 23/4

Total distance he covered = 19/8 + 23/4

lcm of 8 and 4 = 8

19/8 + 46/8 {46 can be got by multiplying the numerator (23) with 2 as by multiplying the denominator (4) gives 8 to make it like fractions}

= 65/8

Therefore he covered 65/8 km totally.

Hope it's correct and helpful too... :)
