To find the total distance Asia walks, we need to add the distance to the park and the distance to her friend's house.
Asia walks 2 1/4 miles to the park + 1 6/8 miles to her friend's house.
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8.
2 1/4 = 9/4 (multiplying 4 to 2 and adding 1)
1 6/8 = 14/8 (multiplying 8 to 1 and adding 6)
Now we can add the fractions:
9/4 + 14/8
To add these fractions, we need to make sure they have the same denominator. In this case, the denominator is already the same.
9/4 + 14/8 = 23/4 + 14/8
Now we can add the numerators:
23/4 + 14/8 = 46/8 + 14/8
To add these fractions, we just add the numerators and keep the denominator the same:
46/8 + 14/8 = 60/8
Now we simplify the fraction:
60/8 = 7 4/8
7 4/8 can be simplified to 7 1/2 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4:
7 4/8 = 7 1/2
So, Asia walks a total of 7 1/2 miles.
Solve the following problem: Asia walks 2 1/4 miles to the park and then another 1 6/8 miles to her friends house. How many miles does she walk in all?

That’s not correct the answers are..
A: 3
B: 4
C: 1/2
D: 3 7/8
A: 3
B: 4
C: 1/2
D: 3 7/8
Apologies for the incorrect answer in my previous response. Let's solve the problem correctly.
Asia walks 2 1/4 miles to the park and then another 1 6/8 miles to her friend's house.
First, we need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
2 1/4 = (2 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 9/4
1 6/8 = (1 * 8 + 6) / 8 = 14/8
Now, we can add these fractions:
9/4 + 14/8
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8.
9/4 + 14/8 = (9 * 2) / (4 * 2) + 14/8 = 18/8 + 14/8
Now we can add the numerators:
18/8 + 14/8 = 32/8
To simplify the fraction, we divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 8:
32/8 = 4/1
Therefore, the total distance Asia walks is 4 miles. The correct answer is B: 4.
Asia walks 2 1/4 miles to the park and then another 1 6/8 miles to her friend's house.
First, we need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
2 1/4 = (2 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 9/4
1 6/8 = (1 * 8 + 6) / 8 = 14/8
Now, we can add these fractions:
9/4 + 14/8
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8.
9/4 + 14/8 = (9 * 2) / (4 * 2) + 14/8 = 18/8 + 14/8
Now we can add the numerators:
18/8 + 14/8 = 32/8
To simplify the fraction, we divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 8:
32/8 = 4/1
Therefore, the total distance Asia walks is 4 miles. The correct answer is B: 4.
Is 4 correct or not?
Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is indeed 4. Asia walks a total of 4 miles.
