Question

use the information on the state park sign shown on the right. suppose you bicycle from the park sign to the picnic parking, then bicycle back to lake, and finally bicycle to the beach parking. how far will you have traveled? write an exact answer in simplest form. Lake:1/2 mi cafe:1 3/4mi picnic parking:3 3/4mi beach parking:3 7/8mi

Answer 1

\[Lake\ = \frac{1}{2} mi\]
\[Cafe\ = 1\frac{3}{4} mi\]
\[Picnic Parking\ = 3\frac{3}{4} mi\]
\[Beach Parking\ = 3\frac{7}{8} mi\]

Answer 2

We bicycle in the following way
\[Park\ Sign\ \to\ Picnic\ Parking\ \to\ Park\ Sign\ \to\ lake\ \to\]
\[Park\ Sign\ \to\ Beach\ Parking\ \]

Answer 3

\[3\frac{3}{4}+3\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+3\frac{7}{8}\]
\[3+ \frac{3}{4}+3+ \frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2}+3 +\frac{7}{8}\]
In the denominators we have 2, 4 and 8. The LCM of these three is 8
Can you solve now @Jyako90?

Answer 4

6/8 6/8 4/8

Answer 5

@Jyako90 If you need any help my friend @rebeccaskell94 will help you. I gotta run
Sorry:(

Answer 6

aww ;/

Answer 7

You'll get \[11 \frac{7}{8}\]

Answer 8

Try to figure how you get this. Bye:)

Answer 9

thats the answer

Answer 10

But do figure how you get this. I'll check it when I come back

Answer 11

okay let me see

Answer 12

okay so like basically its kinda like later on in algebra where what you do to one side you have to do to another. in this case if you multiply the denominator by say 4 you have oto muliply the numerator by 4 also. sooo let me do a draw and Ill post that

Answer 13

ok so the LDC is 8

Answer 14

yes ma'am
all of the denominators can be multiplied to 8

Answer 15

oh wait...we need to make the mixed numbers improper fractions first.

So now we have: 15/4 + 15/4 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 31/8

made into LCD we have
30/8 + 30/8+ 4/8 + 4/8 + 31/8 :)

Answer 16

which is 99/8 or 12 3/8

Answer 17

ok 95/8= 11 7/8

Answer 18

she said the answer is 11 7/8?

Answer 19

I thnk he most of added wrong... (aSh is most def a guy) lol

Answer 20

I'll have him double check it though :)

Answer 21

haha ok so

Answer 22

so is that it 12 3/8

Answer 23

I'm pretty sure it is :)

Answer 24

okay thanks :)
