Question

Charles rides his bike to school everyday. He lives 3/5 of a mile from school. How far does Charles ride his bike to and from school daily?

Answer 1

If he rides 3 / 5 of a mile in the morning and 3 / 5 of a mile in the afternoon, then that would suggest he rides 6 /5 of a mile in total every day.

Answer 2

Basically you have to add 3/5 & 3/5...
That would be 6/5, then just convert to mixed number.
\[1\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\]
voila.
