Jana decides to walk 4/5 "four - fifths" miles in her neighborhood every day. She walks 4/10 "four - tenths" miles in the morning and walks 2/10 "two- tenths" miles at lunchtime. If she walks 1/6 "one - sixth" miles more later, will she meet her target distance? Why or why not?

Sagot :

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, basically add all the distances Jana walked. 4/10 or 2/5 added to 2/10 or 1/5 and finally added to 1/6.

The ones I added with an "or" is the lowest term.

If you add all values, it will result in 23/30.

To check, subtract 4/5 to 23/30. First make them similar fractions which would make 4/5 to 24/30,now subtraction is available.

24/30 subtracted by 23/30= 1/30

So Jana lacks 1/30 miles for her to reach her target distance.

Simple answer: No. She didn't.
