5/8mi

5/6mi

1 1/3mi

1 1/2mi

Answer 1

To find out how much Abby walked in total, we need to add the distances she walked on both Saturday and Sunday.

The distance Abby walked on Saturday is 3/4 mile.
The distance Abby walked on Sunday is 7/12 mile.

To add these two fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 12 is 12.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 3, we get (3/4) x (3/3) = 9/12.

So, the total distance Abby walked is (9/12) + (7/12) = 16/12 mile.

Simplifying 16/12, we divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. We get (16/4) / (12/4) = 4/3.

Therefore, Abby walked 4/3 mile, which is equivalent to 1 1/3 mile.

Therefore, Abby walked 1 1/3 miles in total. The answer is (c) 1 1/3 miles.
