Answers
GPT 3.5
To find out how far away Joey is from home, we need to add the distance he was locked away for and the distance he walked.
The distance Joey was locked away for is 15 2/3 m.
The distance Joey walked is 21 3/4 m.
To add these distances, first, convert both fractions to a single form.
15 2/3 m = 15 + 2/3 = 45/3 + 2/3 = 47/3 m
21 3/4 m = 21 + 3/4 = 84/4 + 3/4 = 87/4 m
Now add the distances:
47/3 m + 87/4 m = (47×4 + 87×3) / (3×4) = (188 + 261) / 12 = 449 / 12
Dividing 449 by 12, we get:
37.41 m
Therefore, Joey is approximately 37.41 meters away from home.
