Answer:
6 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
1.50 x 3 = 4.5
4.5 + .75 x 2 = 6 miles
In total Jacqui runs 6 miles on weekdays.
Given that, Jacqui runs 1 1/2 miles on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and 3/4 miles on Tuesday and Thursday.
We need to find out how far she run in all.
All you need to do is follow three simple steps:
Step 1: Find a common denominator.
Step 2: Add the numerators (and keep the denominator)
Step 3: Simplify the fraction
To add unlike fractions: Make the denominators of the fractions the same, by finding the LCM of denominators and rationalising them. Add the numerators of the fractions, keeping the denominator common. Simplify the fraction to get the final sum.
Now, 1 1/2 can be written as 3/2.
The distance she runs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday=3×(3/2)=9/2 miles
The distance she runs on Tuesday and Thursday=2×(3/4)=3/2 miles
Total distance=9/2 + 3/2=12/2=6 miles
Therefore, in total Jacqui runs 6 miles on weekdays.
