Q. Unit 12 ExamA group of people are going on a 5 mile hike. They walked 2101 miles in the morning and 141 miles during the first hour of the afterno on. How many miles do they have left to walk?Give your answer in simplest form.[?][][] miles Enter
Convert to Improper Fractions: First, we need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions to make the addition easier.2(101) miles in the morning can be converted as follows:2(101)=10(2×10+1)=1021 miles.
Add Distances: Similarly, convert 1(41) miles during the first hour of the afternoon to an improper fraction:1(41)=(1×4+1)/4=45 miles.
Find Total Distance: Now, add the two distances together to find out how much they have walked in total: 1021 miles + 45 miles. To add these, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 10 and 4 is 20, so we convert both fractions to have a denominator of 20. (1021)×(22)=2042(45)×(55)=2025
Subtract Total Distance: Now add the two fractions: 2042+2025=20(42+25)=2067 miles.
Convert to Mixed Number: To find out how many miles they have left to walk, subtract the total distance walked from the total hike distance:5 miles - 2067 miles.First, convert 5 miles to a fraction with a denominator of 20 to make the subtraction easier:5 miles = (5×20)/20 = 20100 miles.
Convert to Mixed Number: To find out how many miles they have left to walk, subtract the total distance walked from the total hike distance: 5 miles - 2067 miles. First, convert 5 miles to a fraction with a denominator of 20 to make the subtraction easier: 5 miles = (5×20)/20=20100 miles.Now subtract the distance walked from the total distance: 20100 miles - 2067 miles = (100−67)/20=2033 miles.
Convert to Mixed Number: To find out how many miles they have left to walk, subtract the total distance walked from the total hike distance:5 miles - 2067 miles.First, convert 5 miles to a fraction with a denominator of 20 to make the subtraction easier:5 miles = (5×20)/20 = 20100 miles.Now subtract the distance walked from the total distance:20100 miles - 2067 miles = 20100−67 = 20670 miles.The fraction 20670 is an improper fraction, and it can be converted to a mixed number to make it easier to understand:20670 = 20673 = 20674 miles.
