Complete Question:
Maria rode her bike for three-fifths of a mile on Monday and one-fifth of a mile on Tuesday. How many miles did she ride altogether?
Group of answer choices.
A. 1/5
B. 3/10
C. 7/5
D. 4/5
Answer:
D. 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Distance covered on Monday, D1 = 3/5 miles
Distance covered on Tuesday, D2 = 1/5 miles
Total distance covered, Td = D1 + D2
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] Td = \frac {3}{5} + \frac {1}{5}[/tex]
Lowest common denominator (LCD) = 5
[tex] Td = \frac {3 + 1}{5} [/tex]
Td = 4/5 miles.
Therefore, Maria rode 4/5 miles altogether.
