micah drove 4 1/4 miles on Monday and 2 2/3 miles on Tuesday. On Wednesday, he drove 1 1/3 fewer miles than he had driven on Monday. How many miles did they drive in total

Respuesta :

Answer:

9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Monday: [tex]4\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Tuesday: [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Wednesday: [tex]4\frac{1}{4} - 1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Total: [tex]4\frac{1}{4} + 2\frac{2}{3} + (4\frac{1}{4} - 1\frac{1}{3})[/tex]

                                               

Start by subtracting [tex]4\frac{1}{4} and[/tex] [tex]1\frac{1}{3}:[/tex] [tex]\frac{35}{12}[/tex]

Now, add them all up: [tex]4\frac{1}{4} + 2\frac{2}{3} + \frac{35}{12} = 9.5[/tex]

Therefore, Micah drove 9.5 miles in total.
