Question

Mrs. Escalante was riding a bicycle on a bike path. After riding 2/3 of a mile, she discovered that she still needed to travel 3/4 of a mile to reach the end of the path. How long is the bike path?

Answer 1

2/3 + 3/4 -- common denominator is 12
8/12 + 9/12 = 17/12 = 1 5/12
The bike path is 1 5/12 miles. ( 1 and 5/12 miles)
