Question

9. Bryce goes och for a walk. He walks 9/8 miles from home. He walks back 1/2

mile before meeting up with his friend Mya. Write and simplify an expression (a

sum) that describes this situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Expression:

$\frac{9}{8}+(-\frac{1}{2})=\frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Bryce traveled distance from his home=$\frac{9}{8}miles$

Bryce traveled distance back=$\frac{1}{2}miles$

We have to find the expression and then simplify.

According to question

Total distance traveled by Bryce

=$\frac{9}{8}+(-\frac{1}{2})$

This is required expression.

Total distance traveled by Bryce=$\frac{9-4}{8}=\frac{5}{8}miles$

Hence, the total distance traveled by Bryce from his home=$\frac{5}{8}miles$
