Question with Fractions!
The distance from Joan's house to the park was 3/4 of a mile. She walked 2/3 of the way before she stopped for a drink. How far has she walked?

Answer 1

First you have to find the common denominator... Which is 12.. So now the fractions are this:

2 4 8
- x - = -
3 4 12



3 3 9
- x - = -
4 3 12


Now what we do is subtract the fractions....

9 8 1
- - - = -
12 12 12

Since she has 1/12 more of the walk left... We have to subtract 1/12 by 12/12 to find how much she has walked...

12 1 11
- - - = -
12 12 12


So 11/12 is your answer ;*
