Mike and Carolyn drove to their parents house for Thanksgiving. Mike drove 84 3/4 miles and Carolyn

drove 5/6 the miles that Mike did. How many total miles did they drive?

Answer 1

Answer:

155.38 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mike drove $84 \dfrac{3}{4}$ miles to their parent's house for thanksgiving; and

Carolyn drove $\dfrac{5}{6} \ of \ 84 \dfrac{3}{4}$

Carolyn drove $\dfrac{5}{6}\times \dfrac{339}{4}$

Carolyn drove  $\dfrac{565}{8} \ miles$

The total miles they both drove is:

$=84 \dfrac{3}{4} + \dfrac{565}{8}$

$=\dfrac{339}{4}+ \dfrac{565}{8}$

$= \dfrac{678+ 565}{8}$

$= \dfrac{1243}{8}$

= 155.38 miles
