A student ran a distance of 2 1/2 miles each day for 5 days. Then the student ran a distance of 3 1/4 miles each day for the next 5 days. What was the total distance in miles the student ran during these 10 days?

Respuesta :

28 3/4 miles

First I'd like to convert the fractions into decimals.

2 1/2 = 2.5

3 1/4 = 3.25

Now, multiply each number by how many days that distance was reached.

2.5 x 5 = 12.5

3.25 x 5 = 16.25

We add our products:

28.75 (28 3/4)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Good luck! :)
